Just for the record, I knew nothing about the other event until I got there. The wife andI went in the way we always do with no problem. In fact I thoght it was the Flea Market. I enjoyed the entire evening,other than Mr Rudisell telling me the flag was for Mel Johnson. RIP

They weren't looking for drugs. They were trying to figure out how one person could be in possession of that much "whine".

I think it was a case of probable cause. When they saw you walking around an open wheel event with your standard sour, bitter, pissed off look, they knew you had to on something.:3:

After the heats were over, I'll be honest, I thought the prospects for great features were very dim. Passing was very tough and the turns were narrow. Drivers were mostly following each other down the same path. When I saw the sheep's foot out working the turns, I didn't feel a whole lot better, as I've historically never seen that implement do a whole lot of good. There must have been some magic, however, in this particular sheep's foot, on this particular night, as it seemed to transform this racing surface into the National Finals Rodeo, for those of the cowboy variety, in both sprint and midget fields.

The midget race was definitely one of those that made you twist, turn and lean on the edge of you seat, as these guys gutted out their duels on this lightning fast, yet treacherous racing surface. Clauson, Buckwalter, Sweet, Kuhn and Hagen (among others) all showed that their will to win far outweighed their concern for their own personal safety, on this night. No points racing here, just four speed demons going for the gold.

Although who would win the sprint feature was never in too much doubt, this was definitely the "Cowboy Up" race of the night. In a way, I'm glad the JCJ checked out a bit, because I spent a lot of the race watching Trucker's drivers Levi and Shane Hmeil just stand on the gas with both feet and ride the wall of this place, in a way that was reminiscent of Hewitt or Haud at the "Big E". This was also another night that Joss Moffatt showed that his driving skills far outweighs his racing budget. You see that every time out, though. I can't tell you how what a blast it was to watch these guys, last night. While the winner was never in doubt, this was one entertaining race!! And it was a very good show. Thanks Dave and crew. And Sandy for getting the results posted.

My Kudos also to Dave and crew,also Sandy, for a good job. Also agree that all of the fuss about the Motorcyle group, which was very small and caused no problems other than some people not being able to park in their usual place. Race crowd was also smaller than I expected.Also agree with you Jerry on Joss Moffatt, he is much better than he gets credit for.

LMAO - Great one! Some things never change. Some people don't like Lawrenceburg I guess After more thought I can't even imagine (and I have a hell of an imagination) driving to Indy for a race and then leaving because the parking wasn't exactly the way it usually is when I get there. They have enough room in the fairgrounds and adjoining fields to park a few thousand cars if they really wanted. My God of all the complaints this week (Dave never thought he would here anyone complain about the grandstand seats) I never ever, ever, ever thought there would be a complaint about about not enough parking at The Burg. I am dismayed. When I was leaving the AFR people even asked the people in our party if we wanted to come over and here the bands and have some beer FOR FREE!

We pulled in around 3:15 PM with the motor home and had absolutely no problem finding a parking area. Dyno Don hasn't found a track yet to his liking. Hey Don, you should have asked one of the bikers to give you a lift up to the ticket window. You would look real cool in a side car.:3: Be careful not to ***** about the ride though, they might pull the pin on the side car:16 and off you go.:5:

Wrong. Went to Bloomington on Friday night and had a great time. The track was in great shape, had 75 Sprints & Midgets. The place was packed and no hassles.

It seems saying what you think upsets people when you talk about their home track.

Go to Bloomington next Friday and see a good show.

Re: IMW - 'Burg - 6/13/09
 

Wrong dyno doo, GAS CITY has thier mid summer doubler. All spots pay off is doubled, 2800 to win. plus its a dirt track.

So, are you going to be there? You do know there's going to be modifieds and superstocks racing. Besides, it's KIVA night, so there will probably be lots of KIVAs hanging around the parking lot.:3:

All kidding aside, how can any race fan ever go wrong with either Bloomington OR Gas City? I'd love to have that choice every Friday night! Then on Saturday the choices multiply. You guys really do have it made.
