Excellent! The next best thing to being there! Me and my sister appreciated the updates! You update me then I update her! :) A teeny bit anxious when your battery died though!:3:

2 "IRONMAN" awards for last night. 1st to Chris Windom for doing the Gateway to L'burg trip, then racing a full midget program, then a full sprint car program, topping it off in Victory Lane.
2nd to Rico Abreau, not only for the win, but just for strapping into a midget for the 3rd straight night after recovering from the broken collar bone. I can't imagine the pain involved.

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

Yup, Rico has seven screws in his collar bone

Excellent racing last night just wish there wasn't so many cautions in the sprint feature.

Thank you to Dave Rudisell and the whole Burg crew. The midget and sprint features last night were two of the best races I've ever seen there.

Speedbump,

I noticed your post was at 6:56 PM on Saturday night. Since it is now 3:40 PM on Sunday afternoon, I was wondering if you made it home okay last night? Since we haven't heard from you concerning the racing and how bad it must have been on "a piece of **** track", many of us are concerned about you. Since qualifications hadn't yet ending when you made your post, you probably left and just proceeded home and haven't bothered posting more "track information" today.

Obviously I missed something about the track last night. You track prep experts pick out things that a rookie race fan like me missses out there. I sucked it up and stayed the course. Had I only known earlier, things might have been different.:15:

We ran out of fuel with three laps left....at that point I was on my third heart attack! ;)

Enjoyed a great night of racing and socializing from my perch at the top of Section A. Enjoyed some conversation with Karen Rudisell, who has always made me feel so welcome at Lawrenceburg Speedway. My biggest complaint about the three nights of racing that I attended is the amount of windshield time I put in, just a little under one thousand miles. IMO Indiana Midget Week is a better event than Indiana Sprint Week, and the crowds all three nights approached Sprint Week levels.

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

its without a doubt better than sprint week, when you get 35 to 44 midgets and close to 30 sprints each nite

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

Nice talking to you Dave! I appreciate it that you take the time out to chat with me. I'm still laughing about you in the afternoon hammering on the brakes on that 4 wheeler and turning around to drive over by me when i was playing catch with Cam.

Tim, did he honk that clown's horn?:D

My wife has Alzhiemers and I'm her care giver, which makes it very hard to go to the races anymore. Lawrenceburg Midgets was the 1st race that I've been to in two years. I planned on going for a month to be able to get someone to watch her and boy, I wasn't disappointed. I want to thank everyone involved in putting on a great show.
Don't know when I'll be able to go again but Lawrenceburg has been my favorite track for a number of years. Being only 54 miles from our home in Ohio is a plus also. Thanks guys for giving an old man a great time.

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

I want to thank everyone involved for putting on a great race. My wife has Alhziemers and I'm her primary care giver so I had to plan a month in advance to have someone stay with her. And I'll tell you, I was not disappointed. Lawrenceburg has been our favorite tracks for a number of years and my wife and I attended many a race there in the past. This was the first one I've been able to make in two years and really enjoyed it along with two of the friends I brought. We won't talk about the third one.
Again, thanks for putting on a great show. You really lifted this old man's spirit.

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

Nope. Dave was flying down the road towards the pits when he looks, hammers the brakes and turns around. He drives up to me and says "i was wondering who that other kid was that was playing catch with Cam"! This kid image i have with being short just keeps on getting funnier! :5:

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

Hard to see bad racing when you can't see 1/3 of the track from the dust. I believe three different times I heard the announcer say he had no idea what caused a car to stop in turns 3 and 4 due to the heavy dust. Pretty disappointing considering the weather that week. I knew when I saw big ol tractors on skinny little tires Saturday morning we were in trouble... Unfortunately we had already made the 6 hour drive from Michigan. On the bright side I felt right at home with the mediocre prep. Dave has a absolutely gorgeous facility on his hands, it's a shame the most wasn't made of the evening.

There were times Sunday night when I couldn't see ANY cars !!! But you know what ? I was thrilled to death to be at Kokomo !!!!! I'd never been there . I think other people should adopt my theory ...... Until I know I can do a better job I should shut the hell up about how the track was prepared . Were the track conditions perfect every night ? Nope ! Did every person responsible for track preparation do the best they could ? I'm confident they all tried to give every visitor and fan the best track they had ever seen .

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

Maybe more people should have sat on the backstretch. No dust on my shirt and i had a pair of glasses along and never had to put them on. I was by the first parking space where the cars pull off the track and it was crystal clear all night. :6:

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

The dust wasn't that bad. The WoO race May 26th was a lot worse.

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

I think it looked worse than it actually was, because it was only really a problem on the turns 3 and 4 end, where you also had to stare directly into the blazing sun, to look at that end of the track.

Re: The Burg Midget Week?
 

I can't remember dust being any worse at any other race I've been to at Lawrenceburg on midget week. The worst I have ever been too was the WoO at Lawrenceburg on Memorial day, I was absolutely covered in dirt when I got home. I'm just thankful we have all these tracks to choose from. Seeings how Lawrenceburg is probably the closest to me thats where I go majority of the time.
