Yes folks it’s 4 Crowns week, and other than it being an annual indicator that summer and racing season are fleeting, I couldn’t be happier. I think there’s a bit of irony in the fact that we start...
B99, you hit on a couple things that are true. One thing that I’m not willing to give up on yet is the promoter. I think the track has been good, and he pulled off a miracle Sprint Week and the track...
Great insight Tim, and I believe you nailed it. LPS is running Friday, and I wasn’t aware of the Haubstadt race which is probably why LPS is running Friday. But to me, we continue to lament the the...
So I was sad to hear that Terre Haute had to cancel today. I applaud Joe and Kevin for giving this deal a go, but it looks like it’s having a tough time finding it’s footing. But the they said they...
You might be right about losing a little shine. In my mind there’s a couple reasons for why that might be happening. I think you’re correct on the date uncertainty. Second is that I’m sure the...
Good thing they have outlawed midgets at Terre Haute. Look how terrifying that is. There’s people who complain about us old timers talking about the good old days, but let me tell you, we’re not...
I wish the Chili bowl only had 70 cars. There’s 250 that don’t matter. But that’s not the point here. I only have 2 criticisms for this race and that it’s scheduled the week after 4 crowns and...
I saw today that the legendary filmmaker of great dirt documents Dick Wallen has passed at age 90. What treasures those VHS tape’s were of the classic time’s of Sprint Car Racing. I had to go on...
814, you’re correct. The campground he goes to basically shuts down after this weekend which is why he can’t leave it. I understand why the track wouldn’t do it, and if the campground closes for the...
One of my best buds has got his travel trailer over at Eldora this week for the World 100. The park he stays at won’t let him leave it for the 4 Crowns. Does anyone know a safe place near the track...
I’m not a big fan of a bunch of variations of the same car. I think that ultimately dilutes the product. However, with the product that the badger midgets puts out, maybe the National series could...
Ed, that’s an interesting point. One could make the argument that unless they’re side by side there’s not much difference, at probably triple the cost? Either way I thought it was a great event at...
My weather app shows chance of showers in the morning. Hopefully they’re wrong, but also hope there’s some flexibility in the schedule to allow for some track work
