4,000 to win and nobody shows? Don't ***** about purses!

oppweld · 8/9/20, 9:01 PM

17 cars nothing else good I could say except there are 5-6 cars running for nothing at Paragon who could win this!

seems a lot of teams are determined not to run WAR races

I expected the Midwest Wingless Boycotting, but there has been a few cars from Indiana supporting WAR races.
You don't get many chances to pick up 4k without USAC competition!

I think you"d spend a lot of that 4 grand on fuel getting there and home plus motel, food all the normel stuff. Make it to Paragon and home on a tank of gas and no over night bill

You are correct. Add in taking off work on Monday oh yeah and throw in a couple blown trailer tires traveling that far which isn’t uncommon.

We made the trip from Indy. Took two cars (one of the two came over from Ohio). We didn’t really consider who would show up or not. Terry McCarl goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. He stopped by several times to thank us for coming. The race (still) has an event atmosphere to it. We raced at Lawrenceburg the night before, then night rode over to Iowa. We enjoyed the trip. And yes, we took Monday off work.

Thanks for coming, numbers may have been low but the action was great. I fear the non wings could go away again at Osky if the numbers dwindle.

Car count was disappointing but expected with the boycott going on. I think they’ll get it straightened out next year. The finishes of both features were awesome and McCarl loves the non-wing cars so I think they’ll be back. With the car count ASCS had it’s probably a good thing the non-wing count was light or it would have gone past 1am. They really dragged it out with all the cushion packing that prove useless. The track prep was A+ in my book. That was the most watered down track I’ve seen in a long time and made for great, dustless racing.
