What do you mean sadly by the Push trucks and not by the Sprints? Car owners appreciate the tracks, like Eldora, Bloomington,Lawrenceburg, Atomic, Haubstadt, etc., that don't need $60,000 machines to help pack the track. I appreciate that the Hammers realize this at Millstream! They used to own Sprint Cars.


Just a personal like. I like seeing Sprinters Wheel Packing. :6:

With Kokomo running sprints on Friday the 14th and Millstream running Saturday the 15th, we have two great tracks putting on a great weekend for fans. Now pray for good weather!

On Sunday, October 16th, let's all meet back here and describe the similarities and differences in the racing and track surface conditions between the Kokomo and Millstream sprint shows. I will be at both shows. How about all of you?

With cooler temps Millstream should be all right & besides you have someone that works a track that runs weekly compared to a pretty much special event from time to time.

I hope it stays like it is also with no SANCTIONS, can't anyone have a stand alone show anymore.

Haubstadt uses 3/4 Million Dollar machines to pack theirs!

If the sprints warm their motor and wheel pack it gives the announcer time to talk about the drivers and sponsors, when it is quiet and when people can see the sponsors on the cars.

The only Announcer that takes care of all my Sponsors is the great, Chad Cunningham!

That place would be bad ass for non wing if watered more and allow the cushion to build. There was some decent racing at the show last week. But many were ballon footing due to lack of grip or traction. It is really sketchy running when it is as dusty as it was on Sunday. Take a lesson from the Grove for the Crown cars. Water heavy and don't pack the cush down. Then let it slick up to the cushion. Sit back and enjoy then.

I love getting to race Millstream. I'm from Ohio and watched my Dad race there. I have been to all the non wing shows and in my option the track prep was lacking this time. My performance was terrible and I'm not blaming the track conditions for that but I did blister a tire in the heat race and junk a RF, LR and RR in the 18 laps I ran. I have a huge amount of respect and appreciation for the Hammer's and don't want to bash them at all but would like to see Millstream in the glory it could be. Last year it had a cushion on both ends and a bottom. I've see awesome wing shows there recently. I hope they are able to continue improvements and give the racers and fans the best track they can!
