Sounded like his motor let go a few laps before he pulled off.

Broken intake rocker.

It was good to see so many familiar faces last night.

The racing last night was great IMO.

Definitely was a great time hanging out with all the great racing family. Nothing like hanging out with great friends and seeing some great racing events on a great Sunday at tss. Thanks guys had a great time. Thanks.

I'm not sure how far behind me you left but was pretty sure ya'll came booking it past me on 64 around Corydon. :3:

Well I liked the facility, I wasn’t impressed. I know coming in that I’d see a John Deere parade at least once but twice in one night turned me off. Track was really coming into shape for the heats then completely changed it. I think that’s the “local” advantage that people talk about. The feature wasn’t bad, one lane on the bottom but before I get killed, I know KT JR went from 15 to 3rd. I can appreciate the track, but I don’t think I’ll be making the 3 and half hour journey again.

Re: USAC/MSCS "Showdown"
 

I think they were using all three lanes, granted most were on the bottom which normally not how it is,also how can Tom working the track be a advantage, they (locals) don"t know how much more water he"s putting on track To me its a fair track to all with no holes or giant cushion . All the drivers know the rework will happen so its not a surprize are anything. :D

It is not at all unusual for Evansville area to have multiple competitive drivers. They win some races at Tri State and there is a local advantage. Few things in life are as transparent as Tri State track prep. The more races you see there, the less likely you are to complain about the tractor parade. Watch the locals. When the tractors come out, they go outside for some tailgating for 20 minutes. I doubt many race teams think there is a local advantage.

Like I said, I knew the tractor parade was coming, I just feel like the racin could of been better if the surface was left alone. Last night was better then anything I’ve seen all year because it was my 1st race of the year so I can’t complain too much

Re: USAC/MSCS "Showdown"
 

So you know more about track prep than Tommy lol Maybe you should find you a track and show everyone how a race track should be prepped, Dude you"re a joke :D

I’m a joke because I have an opinion? I was never disrespectful towards you for you stating your opinion was I? No. That’s the beauty of racing, we can have different opinions, we can like different tracks, we can like different drivers. For me, I do not care for TSS and guess what, that’s ok. I know a lot of people on here do and I’m good with that. My favorite track is Kokomo. You don’t see me calling people jokes when they make a comment on Kokomo, do you? No you do not. Not sure if your going to midget week or not but if you do, I hope you enjoy it as much as I will.

Re: USAC/MSCS "Showdown"
 

Spot on. My least favorite track in Indiana. I have posted about it before and got hammered on here. I loved the giant cushion coming off turn four in the heats so what do we do ... lets get rid of that and make the bottom fast.

To each his own but just like in the current climate going on right now certain opinions will not be tolerated.

Love how we are not supposed to personal attack anyone here but you criticize Haubstadt here and "Dude you're a joke".

Re: USAC/MSCS "Showdown"
 

Prep is always outstanding at Haubstadt in my opinion. That track has sat idle for what? 8-9 months and last night there wasn't a lick of dust. Personally I'd rather wait an extra 15-20 mins to see a good feature than sit through a brown out like I do everytime I decide to give Eldora another chance. That said, I still left after the feature and made it home to the Louisville area just after midnight and thats losing an hour in the process. For someone making a 3 hour trip which is half the drive I had to make, I can understand the frustration but thats the price we ALL pay for chasing races.

As far as a "local" advantage goes, that's any driver running his home track. When I first moved back to Indiana, if you went to Kokomo like I did every Sunday night or for special shows...if your money wasn't on Dave Darland, you were nuts. You could say the same for every track in Indiana where local guys tend to run well or even on a wider scale, think of Brian Brown at Knoxville. Guys like that have turned thousands of laps at those tracks and the same is true at TSS with guys like Kyle Cummins. I was still impressed with Schnapf who, until a few years ago, was a modified guy and still was able to beat the best in non-wing sprint car racing.

At the end of the day, I don't think anyone can complain because thats the first sprint race I've seen live since like October. Like I mentioned earlier, if anything else, I was just glad to be back with my racing family. I've had a tough few weeks and having an afternoon of tailgating and racing does wonders.

Hope everyone chasing Midget Week is safe in their travels. I'll see y'all soon.

Funny how that works sometimes isn’t it? The facility itself is very nice but tearing up the track completely twice just did it for me. I do not know track prep nor have I ever said I do but I thought the track was coming in nicely and was shaping up for a “Kodak” moment instead of just one line being fast. Oh well! Onto the next one, I can’t wait for midget week to start!

I do agree with that. Cummins is the man down there and rightfully so. Last night during intros, I could tell that too. I’ve only ever really experienced something like that at Kokomo with Darland. He’s the hometown bad ass so to speak. I was simply speaking my opinion and I guess i shouldn’t of. I enjoyed being at a race track watching the sport I love in person so I shouldn’t complain.

Re: USAC/MSCS "Showdown"
 

Track prep takes some time, but Haubstadt is second to none. KTJ's run from the back demonstrated that again. And still, you are seldom out of there past 10:30p

Re: USAC/MSCS "Showdown"
 

So why knock down the cushion in turn four? Do they think that enables more passing down lower?

Re: USAC/MSCS "Showdown"
 

In my opinion, they had used it up pretty good. I think it was the third heat, where Dakota Jackson and Dave Darland were battling for the final transfer absolutely just hanging it out in four over the last few laps banging their right rear off the wall multiple times.

Yeah, it was fine mid turn into early 4 but the cushion middle to exit was the wall from what I could tell from my vantage point halfway between the flag stand and 1. After running the support class, C and B....you wouldn't have seen the race you did for the feature if you just let it go.
