We need a nickname for last night!

For some of us it was almost the 24 Hours of Le Putnamville!

I was worried I was going to pay for a 2nd pit pass when I left. LOL jk

Maybe just have Mods and Sprints next year for this race. Still would be a ton of cars, but take less time.

i thought watching the bomber feature at 515AM we was back to the ole .DA ERA...was about 50 people in the stands..all in all i had a fun night...good track lots of elbows up driving sometimes too much...next year maybe start a few hrs earlier i really didnt see anything that could have been done to speed up the show..good job spiker and crew

Could do it next year on memorial weekend and make it part of the Jerry Lewis telethon its a 24hr deal. Lol jk had fun no complaints here. We all knew there was going to be alot of cars and expected a late night

Next year? You guys forget that the King of NonWing was rescheduled after the rainout the Saturday before the Patriot. I doubt we see this event scheduled on the same night again.

My take on Saturday... Something happened and has been happening that is not a good trend for sprint car racing.

The modified payout was much higher/good... and cars came out in large numbers (72).

The sprint car payout was basically a regular show payout for feature #1, lower than a regular show for features #2 & 3... and we saw the largest car count (55) at any Indiana sprint car track. Obviously the sprint car count was aided by no other track racing sprint cars.

More sprint cars than any night of the Kokomo Smackdown.

Mix in the fact that 507 modifieds have raced in Indiana versus 241 sprint cars in Indiana.

The cost associated with owning a modified are very close to owning a sprint car (with the only exception being a few top notch sprint car teams).

If you are a sprint car team or fan... It sure sends a bad message to promoters when low payouts for sprint cars(and offering every car a feature) fill up the pits... while higher payouts for modifieds fill up the pits.

If sprint car teams don't support the higher paying events in large numbers... why on earth does a promoter assume the risk of offering more money.

If this trend continues... and if I was a promoter and it was all about my bottomline. I would run higher payouts for modifieds weekly and only host high paying NW sprints as a special show. I'm a big fan of sprint car racing... and that's terrible!

Bill I'd say it has to do a lot with low budget sprint teams not attending higher paying races because they don't want to spend all that money knowing they don't have a very good shot at making the feature. Let's be honest a low budget guy is not going to go out and outrun the darlands, jones, windom, etc. I'm not saying they don't have the talent or ability to, I'm just saying they get out-monied. Sprint racing is pricing many drivers out of being competitive. And the mods are heading that way too, but the massive number of mods out there is whats saving them right now.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if paragon has the highest car count this weekend. Being guaranteed to make the show means a lot to some teams that just want to race.

Dustin, I completely understand that. I guess my problem is what happen to the mentality that I'M GOING TO BEAT THE BEST.
