You saved money if you missed this show.I think I will add Bloomington on my do not attend list for next year unless they change tire rule or rework track before feature. If a car can't get traction all you are going to get is a follow the leader race with no passing.As a fan that race wasn't worth $20.00'

Sorry B-Town..............One of the most non-eventful features I have seen in years......


Heats were pretty good though.


And I do understand that you will have one of these sleepers every 10 years or so.

I don't think it was so much the track, as it was the drivers just getting into a rhythm on the bottom. Levi went around the middle on the last lap and was way faster.
Jermey Hines ran the middle in the super stock feature and won from 12th.
not saying the track was good, but ya can't say it was horrible either.

2010 Sprintweek show was just as bad. I skipped it this year for that reason and evidently missed a hell of a show.

You guys go to the same race I did?
Jon wins by a a couple of inches over Levi's last turn surge? Dirt clogs flying,it was not as racey as usual but where do you find a better setting watching a race in the middle of September in Central Indiana? I love going everyweek. Too bad the season is over,you need to get out and support our local tracks most all entertain us. We don't, we'll see more closings, so get out and enjoy! Your missing a great venue!

I would have to agree with you on the WORST race I've ever seen at Bloomington. Absolutely NO passing in the heats.
Hud Cone made the best race of the night in 1st B main.
From where I was sitting it looked like to me Levi won. An awesome try on last lap but I didn't go to see a 1 lap race.
I think running a few more laps in the feature would have made for a better race, expecially on big paying events like this one.

Not the greatest race i've seen by any means but definatly not the worst either. All though the gas it for a short squirt on the straights and coast the corners on the hub, kinda reminded me of the worst i've ever seen. Brownstown CRA race. You could have ridden a bicycle around that night faster than the cars were running. Loved Levi's remark that he if he had used a rental car he may have had a chance to win. Oh well old man winter just around the corner, so we better enjoy what we can before he gets here!!
