Very good. Bring along anyone that isn't going to Putnamville. Let's give them the crowd and show that that place deserves!

I sense a disturbance in the force with the Racing families.

Knoke77 · 7/21/23, 11:21 AM

No disturbance at all Chuck. The promoter (who has been promoting for years) wanted to bring some open wheel racing back to the Osgood track. They reached out to RHR for some help and this is what they have come up with.

Osgood used to be a really fun track back in my TQ days so I’m excited to watch my boy race there.

Two more days! Looking like great weather for covered stands and track is looking nice!

I had my car on display at the Napoleon Fire Dept.'s annual picnic this past weekend with flyers attached to try to drum up some more local interest.

This being close to where I grew up, I'd really like to see it take off. Maybe a revolving thing between Ripley, Decatur, and Bartholomew Co. fairgrounds?
