2011 Haubstadt Schedule Posted (12) (4,907)
Posted By AlkyMadness
Re: 2011 Haubstadt Schedule Posted
2/5/11, 6:34 PM
I just hope that I can make it to Haubstadt again this year. It's been too long.

Also, in this day and age, I don't care what the schedule is, I'm just glad that a track is open for another...

Re: Eastern swing/Sprint weeks

Looking forward to Lincoln again this year. Since they pulled IMW in a week, it now falls on the Dream100 weekend and I'm hoping to hit Gas City, LPS and Kokomo.
New Nonwinged Series in Ohio (17) (5,910)

Glad to see non-wing coming to the Ohio Valley. The WVMS show sounds interesting seeing as they are cutting the track down to a 4/10 (although I hate I never got to see a Silver Crown race on the...

I'll be there. Thankful to get one USAC National event in our area this year. Also hoping the race is supported by the fans better than the midget event at Hickory last year.

As far as the racing, I like them all equally. Sixties will always be special to me since that's when I was introduced to sprint cars.

As far as the overall scene, to me the things have been on...

Damn, who runs that track, the mob?

And isn't this the same POS track that was too cheap to put up fencing in front of their pit stands? Just a dirt ramp and a late model flew into the stands...

I've never seen USAC at Brownstown, so I will try to make it up there for that one. Then head to Ohio for MSA supermods at Kil-Kare with the Focus midgets.
4-crown (45) (11,519)

Re: 4-crown
6/29/10, 2:08 PM
Let's face it, it hasn't been the Four Crown since USAC didn't have four divisions to crown anymore.

I miss the mods and the Fri/Sat format that was used.

I don't like the WoO being part of...

Madhouse didn't change anything. It was an accurate portrayal of what goes on every weekend at BGS. That's why I've only been there a couple of times even though I live only 45 minutes from the...

Re: Grandview updates
6/1/10, 7:17 PM
That's a nice 50% increase over the 16 that were committed two days ago. And the weather cleared out before it had a chance to flood the "Hill".

Guess I should have hit the road this morning. ...
USAC eastern swing (23) (8,812)

Re: USAC eastern swing
5/30/10, 8:53 PM
This has convinced me that I need to go. With only 16 cars committed, this might be the last eastern swing and I really want to see the non wing at Lincoln again.

I'll probably skip Grandview...

I was at Charlotte. Saldana pulled out during the 4-wide lap leaving the pole open and Johnny announced this was to honor Jesse Hockett. Nice tribute to a great racer.

Just read this terrible news on the USAC website. Shocking.

I thought the announcer tonight did a great job. He was he?

Nothing against Klepper, appreciated hearing him at Hickory with the midgets, but want to give credit where credits due.

Agreed. I hope to get back to Kokomo someday. Great racing.

Congrats to BC.

Thanks to USAC for providing this live feed. How great is it to sit here at home in NC, eating ribs and...

Go Duke Devils and the Atlantic Coast Conference (except Carolina).

Congrats to Butler for a great game. They should be very proud of the team and they should be a power next season.

Great interview last night. Shane really seems to be on the right path now and the thing that struck me in the interview was his level of personal ease and comfort.

I can remember Shane's early...

Cograts to Butler for making the championship final but I'll be pulling for our Duke Blue Devils. But, if Butler wins it all, I won't be disappointed.

Where the hell did I say it was USAC's fault? As usual, you post one thing and folks read another.

USAC needs to take control of a situation that seems to be sliding further downward with every...

USAC Needs to Respond to Eldora Fiasco
4/3/10, 6:07 PM
I've read all the posts on a couple of message boards. I've looked at the photos from Friday. If USAC had the kahunas, they need to place Eldora on probation thru 2011. During this time period, if...

Re: New Unfriendly Fan Rule

Since USAC is trying so hard to emulate the WoO, does that mean they will become a publicly traded entity soon?

All joking aside, the ultimate goal is to increase sanction fee and (hopefully)...

There's going to be a brief period of rain in about an hour. The weather service is saying the rain will end by 7pm and there will be a 4 hour window after that.

I'm hoping they are patient and...

I'll be there.

But, if ever a race needed a "star power" entry it's this one. Since the races are being run in the middle of the week and there's no stock cars running with them, and there's...
