Re: Vermilion Co. Speedway-Danville, IL-Racing in

I'm not privy to all of the information at Danville, but cut them a little slack for not having a second show this season. Although this might not be the entire reason, typically a track cannot...

Re: USAC Qualifing Lineup at Sun Prarie

Correct me if I am wrong... but without a full field, don't we already know the feature lineup? What is the purpose of the heats. Any penalty in your feature starting spot if you start and park in...

Re: Scheduling Conflict

I think the POWRi race got moved forward to it's normal weekend after the initial schedule was out because they scheduled two POWRi West races on the 12th and 13th.

Re: Sprints at Farmer City July 6 - $2,000 to win

Rob - you might check with the promoter on the status of this show. He told me last weekend that he wasn't going to run sprints with this show with MOWA next door that night at Lincoln. He might...

Re: Mopar W9 Midget Engine

Would also consider a trade for a nice gooseneck trailer.

Re: Support class discussion pertaining to open wh

I'll say it again. A non-winners race. Cut the top 3 spots off of a normal purse for the class. Don't allow anyone who has won 1 or 2 (your choice) races in the past year enter. This gives the...

Re: Shuman Quiting?

I think you unknowingly got caught up in an inside joke between crew and driver, Billy.

That car is an experimental R and D car where they are testing the use of quick release fasteners on the...

Re: Usac to announce new national sprint car incen

Suppose it's a rule where a USAC points driver can only race a sprint car at a non-USAC event at a track that is has a USAC sprint car date. Would that perhaps be a small reason why Granite City...

Re: Maiden Sprints

I don't see where further segmenting the sprint car class with yet another engine helps a thing. If a guy already has a 410, why spend money on a new engine. With a 410 sportsman class limited by...

For the 10th time Sam. Nothing I said was negative, or meant to be negative. I fully support what they are doing in trying to establish a place for sprints to race. I will gladly encourage the...

Maiden Sprints

For a long time I have been a proponent of a Sportsman class of sprint cars. Of course we have 360's and 305's and Steel Blocks which are attempts at a sportsman idea, but they all miss the mark. ...

Re: Clay co speedway flora il

I talked to Kevin and sincerely wish he and you the best. My point was that the purse makes it too easy for guys to pass it up and choose another option. It's good to know that you have 29...

Re: Clay co speedway flora il

Frankly, I think as a sprint car driver who lives within an hour and a half of the track in question, JRacer2m does know what he is talking about. I would assume that for Flora to draw cars, a...

Re: 2012 POWRi Schedule

I didn't mean to imply that it's all the same people between MOWA and Jacksonville Speedway. Many, many people worked hard to help MOWA get off the ground who are not involved in the Jacksonville...

Re: 2012 POWRi Schedule

You are correct. As one of the people involved in the effort to open Jacksonville, at this point we have committed to running a couple of POWRi shows, a handful of MOWA shows and perhaps a few...

Re: 2012 POWRi Schedule

I also think the April 28 date is at Macon, not a 2 night show at Jacksonville, but not positive.

Re: 2012 POWRi Schedule

Those dates don't even match up to weekends. I think that was last years schedule.

Re: fARMER CITY MOVING RACE

Re: MSCS TO Farmer City Raceway 2012

One advantage about having a sanctioning body like MSCS for your races is that I would think the member drivers would be covered by additional insurance just like your UMP members are. If not, you...
