Re: LPS Track!!
 

All the whining aside, I've never been to ANY track in Indiana. Grew up in Arizona.. You want a rubbered up dry slick ice rink, I'll give you directions.. (not gonna call out any tracks). I'm currently in South Carolina where sprint cars are like a mystical unicorn for people like us, and like a pesty cockroach for the locals and their fenders.

Needless to say, take advantage of the racing you've got. If it slicks up, and you dont wanna go next week, stay home. Or sit in the stands and watch a race. Whichever you do, just dont pick on the tracks or promoters. Do like the drivers: Take what you can get, or stay home.

Re: LPS Track!!
 

I disagree with s w, there is nothing wrong with race fans or drivers expressing their opinions as to the type track prep they prefer/ it dosen't mean its what we'll get, but if it ain't what we're getting and we don't voice an opinion, we ain't never gonna get rooster tails of wet clay on out burgers now will we?

Re: LPS Track!!
 

most track prep folks need to go to school at kokomo speedway.

Re: LPS Track!!
 

Or Bloomington. I hear it has been nice and heavy too.

Re: LPS Track!!
 

At least we have a variety of tracks in Indiana where you can make an educated guess as to the type of track you'll have and you can plan accordingly. We're fortunate to have two tracks in NSSN's Top Ten Tracks in America with Tri-State and Kokomo leading the charge. It's also a plus that they are on opposite ends of the state and have the best consistently prepared surfaces, which dictates why they are so popular.

Indiana tracks are the worst ever. I would much rather watch a race at Jacksonville speedway. Also NASCAR is the best racing period. Dale JR ftw.... He would beat any non wing racer in his first attempt in a sprint car

Don't you mean track prep school @ Haubstadt?

I must be getting old, cuz there are so many things I'd love to comment on in this thread, but what's the point really? Not gonna change a thing lol

Re: LPS Track!!
 

We love LPS, and normally like dry slick conditions due to our lack of horsepower compared to some cars...but my only question to the drivers (since we haven't been there for 2 weeks)...how is the new Right Rear holding up on the Sprint Cars? I noticed on the video Brady leaving a ton of rubber in turn 1 while doing the sliders....how did the tire hold up? Will it take more than 1 race with those track conditions? Since this tire is our ONLY option at most tracks after June 2nd, this might cause some issues for us smaller teams who don't buy new tires every week.

That is a legitimate concern and one I think is worthy of real discussion.

I wish more people approached a particular concern/complaint the way you just did.

WHAT??????????? And miss out on all of the drama.:deadhorse:

I have plenty of drama in my own life... I don't need it from other people.

Re: LPS Track!!
 

it doesnt matter what tire u got on when the track takes rubber its gonna grind it of. r front tire r rear and left rear tire thats about 600 bucks (less tire treatment fluid ) u would have to of run 2cd. just to pay tire bill. glad i was in the stands.

Re: LPS Track!!
 

Thanks Bill...I just wish they were right rear tire options, just like almost every other series...have a soft tire, medium, and/or a harder compound for use. If we would have been running 2 weeks ago at LPS, I am sure we would have put on the hardest right rear tire we have available. The only problem is,,,after June 2nd, we won't have that option. I have one of the new tires and it is considerably narrower than the HT2. With it not being as wide, the weight should be more concentrated on the tire patch, which is gonna cause more heat and more wear, hence a higher tire bill even when track conditions are average/good. I really think the Indiana promoters should either try to help us teams out on track prep to keep the track from grinding tires too early in the night or allow teams to use a harder compound option so the tires will last a little longer.

Good racing can happen on any track dry or wet, and I think it is obvious LPS has had some fantastic racing this year under a variety of track conditions.

Re: LPS Track!!
 

i am glad that the track promotors only give us one tire choice, more then one some might get confused.

Nope he was right the first time

The whole my track is better than your track crap is just plain nonsense. Grow up people!

Re: LPS Track!!
 

I ran the Medium for the first time at Lawrenceburg in the feature 2 weeks ago and like the tire so far. It takes off and works after a couple of laps and keeps on going with minimal wear. I wouldn't want anything harder, but wish we could run an MC3 as an option for next year.

Aww come on bill, this thread is just plain nonsense so why not make it more entertaining?? ;)

How did a thread about LPS turn into another debate of Kokomo vs TSS? I live closer to TSS so that's my preference if I lived closer to Kokomo it would be, if lived in the middle I'd go nuts trying to decide where to go!

Good point! Lol

Re: LPS Track!!
