Thinkin Spartans gonna cancel this class if cars don't start showing up, 9 is not a good number to keep a class going

. People say it's the tires, another says it's the pay, too long of a haul which I can understand if down by Indy

. Wondering what happened to all the pavement sprints?

I have a video of Winchester where they ran a C-Main w/ more cars than Spartans pulling in

, too bad for a dirt guy I'm havin a good time w/ these guys

Spartan cancelled due to heat per their FB page.

Spartan sent out an email a week and half ago stating they quit running sprints "bi-weekly". Sounds like there is some interest in getting a non wing pavement deal for next year. MTS had 3 pavement dates left this year, July 22 at spartan, (hopefully they will reschedule), July 23 Auto city, and Sunday August 21 at Kalamazoo speedway.

Not wanting to beat a dead horse, but this might be the last chance in keeping non wing pavement sprints going.

I was looking forward to this show. Was hoping they would get 16 or so sprints being MTS. Last year it was a great time with all the old timers and their cars on the track. Maybe they were concerned for the old times but this is summer. 90 with a little humidity and a 12 mph wind sounds like a summer evening.
