Re: Tri-state Speedway
We will be there ....our 20 minute drive and sitting on the back side for 40 plus years now!
And your right, Tom don't cater to the BS. Don't matter what excuse that USAC or any one else has for him going back to Sunday nights on Labor Day, a deal was broke and it wasn't Tom breaking it. Enjoy where ever you choose to go racing this weekend! |
Re: Tri-state Speedway
I predict a car count in the high 20's to mid 30's, with a very good high end. In the scenario that we're looking at with this weekend's races, I would guess Brady Short, Jeff Bland, Robert Ballou, Chris Windom, Nic Faas, Hunter Schurenberg, Ricky Williams, Kyle Cummins, Blake Fitzpatrick, Hud Cone (unless he has a SC ride), Chad Boespflug, Kurt Gross, Danny Holtsclaw, etc. And who knows, maybe a few of the guys from the previous night's Fireman's Nationals will make the tow. I heard some of them want to, whether the logistics of that work out or not, we'll just have to wait and see. Regardless, when you add that list of drivers to what Tommy and his crew does, then I don't think there's any doubt that it'll be a good show.

Re: Tri-state Speedway
If USAC had kept the Du Quoin race on Monday like it was for years and years people wouldn't be complaining about what Mr. Helfrich should or shouldn't do. Forget who's running what or when. I just pray Mother Nature let's us see anything on Sunday. Tom

I stopped going to the stock car race shortly after USAC dropped the division. I did go to the ARCA sanctioned race at least once when it was a 200 lapper. That was simply more than I could take, and apparently it was the same for most others as they soon went back to 100 miles. |
