Be glad to give you one. Got a couple zombie dust and some alpha king that was bottled about 2 weeks ago. Be tipping a couple at the track near the 4th turn entrance on the road that goes out to 118. I'll be the guy with the red wings hat with the dirt track sweat ring.

I may venture over there. I normally stay glued to my camp spot near turn 4 right next to 118 somewhat close to the ballroom. I'll definitely throw a couple Yuenglings your way in return lol. If you happen to be by my area I'll be the tall one and one of the few in a Jacob Allen shirt. (Please don't crucify me for the wing shirt lol).

He's right, the racing was superb, but very very dusty. I'm pretty used to it and was able to get through it, but some less seasoned fans who went with us were covering up more than watching. What good is great racing if you can't see it?

If your talking about the former Kamp? yeah the racing was excellent. The dust was so bad it took two laps to realize a car went over the wall in two. I also seen a group come in on a bus and turn around a leave

As for four crown, I love the show. Definitely a under appreciated show IMHO the USAC triple whammy should be a sell out in itself.

As far as track prep, Yeah it gets dusty at the start of the features but they blow it off pretty quick. I only wish they wouldn't scrape the cushion off as they have been unless its one of those obvious problem types.

Great show, I hope everyone has fun.

flagboy55 9/26/15 7:25 AM

Yes Charles I was talking about Kamp. It was terrible dusty. And 94, I may have saved you a zombie dust, gotta check the cooler. We'll most likely be by the pond in the handy capped lot, or along the road out to 118.
I can't complain about the track last night, had some dust but not bad

That won't sit well with the diehard non-wing fans.

BigWheel7 9/27/15 1:17 AM

Anybody enlighten me with T-mez jab to Baldwin.

ThrowbackRacingTeam 9/27/15 1:22 AM

Rather see mods

In his typical white trash style, he said "how do you like me now Ken Baldwin" then said "we had a 5th place car tonight because the crew chief didn't listen to me". T-Mez has a lot of talent but lacks the maturity it takes to be at the top of the game. I enjoy watching him race, just not a fan of mouthy, immature kids.

Hopefully Shane Wade will tone him down a bit. I am a huge fan and follower of the Amati team and hope the best for them.

Id be more surprised if he didn't.

ThrowbackRacingTeam 9/27/15 10:55 AM

Owners can be real dic** sometimes too and do and say immature crap. Some are successful business men who think their sh** don't stink and neither do their race cars.

I for one like him and his interviews because he tells you the truth, he gets the crowd hyped, and the crowd loves it. The guy will stand on the gas and get it done, in any car he's in. The Baldwin car deserves to be made fun of, they've had everybody and their brother in it this summer and didn't even make it out of the B-main.. With a good driver. A lot of people don't want to hear the truth anymore, just like if you get on IndianaOpenWheel and say something true about a race. If it's not "good" they knock ya down.

I thought Bryan Clauson was great to watch coming back to 4th after having the flat.

I like having hot laps, quals & races all in one program. And, I like the having it all run on Saturday night instead of the potential sun/heat of Sunday. The program rolled along pretty well, no real long delays. C Bell was hooked up in the Midget and SC cars!! I was surprised B Clauson was able to get back up to 4th on the dry slick track, even with a new right rear. That was fun to watch! As someone else said earlier, this kinda marks the end of MW open wheel racing for the year but, that was a fun night at the track!

HARFprez 9/27/15 2:54 PM

BIG weekend of racing still at the Kokomo Klash on Oct. 15-16.

Rich Mersereau 9/27/15 3:22 PM

Clauson definitely was fun to watch, drive it like you stole it. Christopher Bell never let up either. Great night at The House Earl Built.

Charles Nungester 9/27/15 3:22 PM

Re: 4 crown thoughts

I would not describe making yourself look good at the expense of others telling the truth. In addition, calling out two owners in one interview doesn't seem like the best path to future rides. I do enjoy watching TMez wheel a sprint car and congratulate him on his win. He ran a great race last night.

Rich Mersereau 9/27/15 10:24 PM

If they make the track hooked up with a big cushion cars get junked and drivers go to the hospital. Simple as that.

a couple of the worst injuries I have seen there were day shows with no cushion to speak of. I was just glad it didn't take rubber.

Had an awesome time at my first 4 crown. What a blast I mean WoO and Mods on Friday! Seeing a guy win his first WoO feature! At Eldora none the less Friday night was awesome. Congrats Greg Wilson! Then on Saturday 3 more crowns decided Midgets was full of action slide jobs galore. With Christopher Bell driving away from everyone else. The Sprint feature was the best seeing a guy Like T-Mez win in a new ride was great and after the race being pumped up and speaking his mind is just awesome. But like they say if you can't win the show be the show and Bryan Clauson didn't disappoint on that one his run from the back after getting a flat tire to 4th place finish was AWESOME SAUCE! WOW! For me it was nice seeing him race again! Then there was the Big Daddy's the Silver Crown all I can say is I went to the pits and stood by the fence when they were hot lapping just a wonderful site to see. As for the race Christopher Bell just dominated it! As for the question I was asked on here to comment about track prep. I didn't see them do much to the track on either night. It looked slick as glass on Saturday night but it was a racy! Well that's about it See next year 4 crown nationals I'm hooked on that race now! Oh almost forgot the 1/4 midget kids put on a heckeva show as well. Lots of cars! :):6::32:

I heard him say both of those and was shocked to say the least. I didn't know what the jab at Baldwin was or what the back story to that was.
