We bust our buts to get them out as fast as we can. Every track setup is different. Gas City takes longer to push than most tracks.

I hope it works out, I have been lucky enough to get over to Gas City from England a few times, it's always been a good show.

I hope he will explore the open tire rule for at least the first year to get a feel on car count for the sprint cars & midgets. Nothing against Hoosier, they have a good tire. I just think with more cars comes more fans & paying customers.
Keep the pits open to the fans before the race so fans & young children can see there favorite drivers. GC was good at this in the past with a purchase of a 50/50 ticket. Just my opinion.

I think the last promoter that ran Gas City weekly tried that. Sprints, midgets, modifieds, and thunder cars. That was the season they shut down early and haven’t ran weekly since. Not that it would be impossible to make it work, but it was attempted before without much success.

That was the last time I watched a race at Gas City was on their opening night. I thought it was a bit much for a new endeavour to have 2 push start classes (and time trials too if I remember right) as not every track is as efficient as going to Knoxville for starting a full field of cars. Anyways, that night I got home at 1:30 am,and had been up for work since probably 4 am on Friday. Way to long of a show for a guy thats worked all day,and still has an hr or so drive home after.

Ive been to two or three midget week races at GC and have been home by 2am 3 1/2hrs away each time. That's a sprint and midget show.

I don't get all this Push Start class stuff, Half the time starter classes have a couple that don't start and sit there for a couple minutes until a truck can come. And I've yet to see a sprint or midget lose a chain and cause a yellow.
