North Vernon 8/29

tubemaster · 8/23/15, 12:36 PM

I know that the Smackdown at Kokomo will draw a lot of cars, but looks like the only other tracks racing non wing cars next Saturday in Indiana will be North Vernon and Paragon. Since work prevents me from going anywhere except for North Vernon hopefully they will have a decent car count. I believe when they were there a couple of weeks ago they had 27 cars. If they could ever get the facility straightened out it would be a nice place for sprint cars. Being from Seymour, it is a nice close place to be able to go to.

For those of us not able to make it to Smackdown, it would be awesome to see a field of quality cars show up at North Vernon Saturday.

Has North Vernon fixed their catch fence? I still cringle when I think about Brady Short going though it

Hell, going thru it ain't no big deal, going over it in turn one is a big deal, especially before they changed the entrance, we had a guy in a TQ clear that thing one night, never touched it, there's pictures someplace, we never did figure what launched him. Bob

Lil brother went over it in a Tq in turn 3 ended where the pit sign in booth is now. Think it was combs car that quit in front of him and he launched off the left rear

Yeah that place is definitely sketchy.

Didn't mean to start a bashing session, but sprints always put on a show there.

No doubt they have some issues, but I agree sprint cars do put on a good show there.

Back when Indiana sprintweek opened on Thur night at twin cities, those were always awesome shows. Still remember JJ Yeley diamonding off turn 4 passing all kinda cars for the win.
Twin cities over the years has had some outstanding sprint car races there.

Sorry wasn't bashing , just asking a safety question, I'd hate to see anybody hurt .
