[Morin Racing 98]

Well after alot of fanfare about their removal, and talks about safety and making things better for the racers, Bloomington Speedway re-installed their infield tires after only 2 races. Unless I missed it, I haven't seen one mention of it on IOW. We love that place, and will go back almost every show,, but why would those tires be put back after only 2 shows? I haven't seen any viable reason for this move as the sprint drivers have been doing really well with respecting the infield. Did I miss something with the other classes?

Also, could somebody explain their restart rule? In the Sprint feature, there was a blue car that jumped and gained 2 spots..no penalty...then a yellow car gains 3 spots on the next restart...no penalty...(no names mentioned to protect the guilty parties)..I guess if you are in 10th place or farther back, jump the start and take your chances..

Now before I get bashed, we will be back every week to support the track no matter how many tires they install or how many restart jumps get missed by the officials...

My first trip there this year, but I noticed the tires too, not sure what the reasoning was. The starts at Bloomington are different then anywhere else we go. As soon as the leader goes, you can pass, even if you are back in turn 3.

Bill are you off you meds again?

Steve, as for the infield tires, I was told that one of the promoters made the decision to have the track staff replant them, maybe someone from the track could clarify and answer your question.

Ever hear the old sayin"when the green flag drops, the BS stops"? That means the race is on, begin passing, if you can, ever try to sort out how many are passing before the S/F line? I guess we've been doing it all wrong for years now, only one ever said anything was indoors at FtWayne a few years back, and we weren't told before we went to get paid, too late then, bad business in my opinion, then it all depended on who you were!
