Since Brady Short won the feature from tenth starting position, I suggest he be required to start from the subdivision off turn four and drive through the ditch that extends across the area outside that end of the track. I wouldn't bet against him, even with that handicap!

I think he should have to drive the old half mile while the rest are on the quarter

The true measure will be to see how he does during the sprint week race against USAC competition. He definitely has that track figured out though.

Brady has said He thought it is harder to hook up his old Mod up than his sprint. When you think about it he may be on to something cuz those mods have strong motors and narrow tires plus they always run their A main after sprint, late models, etc etc. and track is usually black but he still won his fair share of races and he still still can hook up. Guess that's why he is called sweet feet. Hey its not just Bloomington he wins at ! Rock on Brady

I certainly agree Brian! When you've won races at (Twin Cities Brownstown Lawrenceburg Paragon LPS Bloomington Gas City Terre Haute Tri State East Bay), you must be able to wheel a race car, right? Brady is amongst one of the best non wing sprint car drivers today for sure.

Rather than handicap him, why not add a little excitement for the fans and put a bounty on him at Bloomington. Say an extra $1000 to the car that beats him fair and square, and let him start where he qualifies rather than that starting no better than 10th place rule. And, if he wins, he gets an extra $500. Seems like incentive for everyone.

I'd put my $ on Brady to win. Even against the USAC crowd.

Hmm... This is starting to remind me of a certain other driver who was dominating Bloomington. Someone driving a white number 5...
I think we all know to whom I'm referring.

Brady's on a roll and simply has B-Town figured out. Now it's just up to everyone else to do better. Bilbee certainly has given him a run for the money a few times, as had a few others. But they just haven't quite found that little extra that Brady has. I've noticed too this year and even during the latter bits of last season Brady can run his car anywhere on the track nearly every week. High, Low, and especially the seldom ran Middle line. When your car is that hooked up, naturally you're gonna be hard to beat as he showed.

Maybe the fans ought to get together and put up said "bounty" to beat him fairly (i.e. no forced to start 10th, no wrecking him, mechanical woes, etc.). Simply out driving him. Could make things interesting and give others something to shoot for.

Let's see if Brady can make it 5-in a row or if someone can finally dethrone him this Friday.
