Thank you Kokomo
 

I'd like to say to the owners of the race track, the back stretch seats are really nice. Thanks for the view.

Time for a "Darlington" and flip the track?

First do something about the poor parking at the track.

The first thing i thought of was flipping the track, then they came by 4 wide :8: i've never had a problem with the parking lot, but i don't mind walking to my car.

Walking is good for you.

Thing happen a step at a time. 1- Built a new track 2 upgraded facility 3 new back side bleacher ....Each of these at a monetary cost, plus time and work! My guess is they would love to have a larger parking area, but that would require more $ spent . If your going to spend 5 hours at a venue as nice as Kokomo a little walk is well worth the experience! We all have that " thing" that makes us happy, for me it is comfort and viewing (site lines). Kokomo to me was one of the worst because it was crowded and you set looking directly into the sun, now with the option of a new stand taking the pressure off of the front side it has become IMO a great facility. The owners are quickly building a facility that Indiana is fortunate to have. Maybe they are land locked, maybe the land around them is not available? When do you stop putting money in and take some for yourself? When I go to work I want paid, I do not know anyone that goes to work and continues to give money back? If you take cash in vs cash out I do not see a lot of profit vs time spent the last few years. All the work done at the facility comes with a cost!

The only tjme there are parking problems are ISW and Smackdown.Regular shows have less RVs so more slots for cars and trucks.One option might be a shuttle service from a remote space.The corn bldg was availible last year.I really dont see a need for them to invest in more parking space.

Back stretch stands are great. I only come for major events, & parking has never been a problem. Sometimes you have to walk a bit. I love Kokomo!

i'll confess once again to gasping out loud years ago when i heard they reconfigured the track... been eating those words ever since!! haha.

What really impresses me is the eye for detail like scraping the main stand walkway multi times per night, or watering down the gravel parking lanes on Wednesday. We joked Reece and the guys were obviously bored since Mother Nature was cooperating for once. ;) And as a music lover, totally dig the permanent stage outside the pub area.

When I was a kid the start finish was on the backstretch and we had seats all the way around the track.

Just my opinion but I like it just the way it is and as a matter of fact I really liked the old track as it was a drivers track not a big hammer down hold your breath race track, The O'Connor family have done an amazing job with the Kokomo Speedway, everyone at Spencer Racing is thankful they came along to save our home track.

Have a great day and tell them you love them while you can.

Most people already thought it was great. A 72 year old called me last night, and said it was the best race he ever saw. I gotta text from a guy who was with a group of 8 people from PA. They said the same thing. Saw a guy who posts on this board stop at the ticket window and try to hand the girls $20 saying he felt like he owed them more money. Maybe I should pass it on they should be miserable. It is for sure top 10 on my list, Maybe top 5.

...only led 39 laps though.

.

The guy who deserves to win the race doesn't always win it, and I think it applies here. I have no problem with the race or the finish, I thought Thomas had them covered. I've watched about a million race's, and wanted a caution here or there to possibly help whoever I was rooting for in that event win. That's racing, a caution helps some and hurts some, nature of the beast. I truly believe that he was the class of the field, and we all can agree without a caution he wins. What I would have liked to see is what would have happened hadn't Hodges and Bacon ruined each others tires, cause they were going forward

Go yell at tim kaeding seems a tad upset.does incessant mean constantly.🐲🐲🐲
