![]() ![]() You went 30 miles an I went 12 miles so it looks like we both suffer from a total lack of adventure but in my case I don't mind a bit. ![]() I had a great time and I didn't need the head banger music either. Even you must admit watching Tracy Hines win at no cost to us is a darn good deal. Shortbus all of us know that rattling our chains is your way of making sure we know you are still around. Take care and have a good day of rest. |

Honestly didn't hear hardly any music from the band till after racing was over. Then I watched em do about four tracks.
The conversation aint over. Drove 45 miles instead of 156. Seen speeds twice as fast as LPS every thought about hitting, and Corner speeds of 90 not 9 ![]()

A rather interesting evening at Lawrenceburg Speedway last night. Here are a few observations from the peanut gallery.:2:
1)A big thank you to Dave for the HARF/DARF/BARC discount. It certainly was above and beyond. Dave, I hope that you sold enough hot dogs and cokes to make it a profitable evening. Your generosity was certainly appreciated. 2)Rudy and the crew did a great job on track prep in intense heat and provided the drivers with a very fast track to demonstrate their abilities. The track held up well all evening. 3)Justin Grant has really come on in recent outings that I have witnessed. He was definitely in a different zip code last night before the tire issues jumped up and grabbed him. The battle behind him was very hard fought and it seemed to change a couple of times per lap through the middle portion of the event. 4)The Honorable Marvin Q. Fishburger was AWE (absent without excuse) for the second time this month. We arrived to find someone else sitting on Marv's throne and no one from the regular Section A crowd anywhere in sight. Thankfully Gregg and the mailman showed up so we weren't lonesome for long. ![]() ![]() 5)The crowd in Section A last night was very different than we have witnessed before. It must be that the local Wallyworld closed early due to the heat ![]() ![]() ![]() 6)No matter which track you chose last night, I certainly hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did. If you are at the race track, I find it hard to believe that it could be to bad. ![]() 7)It certainly was warm last night but Chaplain Jackie reminded us all to remember our American soldiers in full combat gear fighting for our freedom. I know sometimes I forget.

Last night we ran the 27a of Andrew Elson at puttnamville instead of the burg to try somthing different. Didnt have a bad night led some of our heat but the brakes faded away in the closing laps finishing 3rd. We started 8th and finished 10th in the feature.
My personal observations of Putnamville as a crew cheif not a fan are: Tire wear not much different then the burg. (so give it up they r made of rubber.) When u figure in the mph difference between the 2 tracks that = your tire wear. lburg wide open and fast --- puttnamville park n ride. Pretty good racing in the heats as the were on 24 cars 3 heats of 8. Feature wasnt horrible but not the greatest, slick on the bottom big ledge around the top. Track is still just a few jumps away from being a really good motorcross track. All in all not a bad night, it was fun to go somewhere different on saturday night. next week we will go run haubstadt. Not sure if we will go back to puttnamville this year, but we can't say we didnt run there. |
