Kokomo Klash
 

Hope to make it tomorrow. Just wondering what field to expect.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

boespflug and darland will be there according to facebook.. ballous website says his next race is arizona

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

I'd be willing to bet Shane Cottle will be there baring any issues.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Saw on twitter that KTj was going to be there.

No kokomo this year.Dirt track world championship in Portsmouth,oh.A series that finishes its exciting championship here where there fans are.Three way battle,should of took it to Arizona or Wyoming.

Grow up

Robert Ballou said it’s a possibility he will race at kokomo.

New Post of the Year!!!

Hometown proud of Michael Fischesser. He will be piloting the Chip Pearson Racing #69R at Kokomo.

There are a lot of people out here that need to grow up.I am not the only person in the World who feels that a business should not alienate its target market.Call me when you can get ten Usac-Cra cars to come back here for Isw.The cost is the same to go one way as it is the other.Please don’t say the point money makes the difference.The point money for finishing in the top ten in the national standings does not even come close to covering a trip to California.How about a season ending big money race at Terre Haute just like last week awarding double points.The crowd was very large last weekend.Can you imagine a race there in the fall for the Usac championship.At a classic track like Terre haute it would be massive.Then you can go west,I am sure you would still have same guys there because the purse is good.However,this concept takes imagination and thinking things could be so much better.Better keep doing it the way it always has been done.

What does this have to do with the Kokomo klash? I think you're on the wrong thing dude!

The Klash isn’t even a USAC race.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

The only other national sprintcar series end their season in North Carolina. How many teams and drivers come from there? GET OVER IT !!!!!

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

I can't wait to see the cars and stars!!:22:

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

David M,

Don't agree with your take on USAC sprints ending here in Midwest as opposed to Arizona and California. I like the idea of them racing on the left coast as it evens the playing field and throws some curve balls into the mix. Also it is November and it is much warmer on the West Coast than Indiana and gives people out west a chance to see the USAC National Sprint Car boys without having to travel so far. Yes, the expenses are high but there are always going to be expenses wherever you travel. Also gives some of us a chance to visit some Western tracks to see racing out that way also. Share with our USAC/CRA counterparts some of the stars we get to see more often than them. That's my take.

I just can't believe we got back in this topic on a post that was about the Klash, a non sanctioned sprint car race. Especially after we literally just had an entire thread of arguing about this. Now back to the Klash, I hope everyone has a great night up there enjoying some end of the year open wheel shows. Thought I might be able to make it but it looks like work will get in the way. Sorry to miss it but hope to go next year. Probably means terre haute was the end of my season. Sad, but a great race to end on!

Ya all should be trying to get Mansfield to have a big money non wing show. if ya all could get a petition going & say you'll all bring 6,000 Idiannan's ( Gotta save some room for some of us ). I think they'd go for it.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Sorry to correct you, but midget heat one was Cottle over Gage Walker, who, interestingly enough, also finished 1-2 in the feature. Thank you for providing all these results.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Another great race. I don't remember ever seeing this many great races in one year. Every night at a track is good, but this year it seems like I have seen more and more great finishes.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Why would we do that when we are probably seeing better racing here than ever? Makes no sense.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Totally agree with Brent. The racing this year at Kokomo was great and sometimes believe it or not we get spoiled and don't appreciate the racing there as much as it deserves. The numerous great finishes were hard to comprehend and we went away from there just shaking our heads at how lucky we are to have such a great race track so close (1 1/2 hours for us) to us. Attended Kokomo 14 times this year and never came away disappointed!! This is one of the reasons my wife and I moved out here to Indiana from Pennsylvania and we don't regret the move one bit. Indiana is the hot bed of wingless racing and having grown up on winged racing with Eastern modifieds our first division growing up this is the area to be if you love the close, side by side racing that only wingless sprint car racing can provide. Still enjoy an occasional winged show but nothing compares with the wingless racing especially in Indiana. Enjoy and appreciate what you have here and don't ever take it for granted and continue to support all the tracks in the Midwest that present wingless racing for our enjoyment.

See you tonight at Haubstadt, another awesome joint!!!!

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Tyler Courtney worked his way through the crowd and stole whatever the pay difference was between 1st and 2nd, out of the race's only leader Dave Darland's pocket, on the last corner of the last lap, with the dexterity and skill of a professional pickpocket. The crime victim had no idea he was about to be victimized and by the time it happened, it was too late to do anything about it. It was a stunning finish and the kind of thing legends are made of.

And how about Gage Walker, in the midget feature? He comes to Kokomo and just flat out wrestled second place away from Chris Windom! You have to really be on your game to come to this track and win this style of battle, with this driver.

Great night at the track!

Jerry

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Didn't say a thing about good racing. The Non Wing crowd is the one's that want a good paying race & right now someone is stepping up to the plate & taking a chance on big money shows. They are doing it for Wing Sprints & Late Models. So why not the Non Wingers ? I really like Idea of having the little guy's nationals so to speak.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Im in agreement on Mansfield having a big NW race. Even though the night I was there it was OVCS and FAST with Boss, The most T shirts I seen were NW and BOSS.. Besides, The hauds would run it if there's not a WoO race. Hometown track for them.

As for Kokomo, I had planned to go. Then after waking up hurting. I decided not too and buy the PPV. Well I was hurting so bad I didn't even buy the PPV and went to bed.

Glad you had a good night of racing. Glad your ok David Hair.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Dave wasn't just the victim of a pick pocket though. He was also the victim of a slow lap car! :(

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

As usual, you are right on the mark Jerry. I also thought Gage drove a great race. He has a bright future and he and his family are super nice. Couldn't happen to better people.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Courtney started 4 or 5 rows behind Dave. He drove through more lapped traffic than Dave did. He won it fair and square.

Jerry

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

I agree he won it fair and square but he did have some help from lap traffic.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Mr Shaw,as aways I enjoy your first rate descriptions almost as much as the racing itself. Thanks:6:

Darland always has a excuse.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Thank you. It's been pretty easy this year, because like Brent Goodnight said, night in and night out, from track to track, this group of drivers have just went at it tooth and nail. It's been one of the better years in a while.

Jerry

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

:) Dave didn't make the excuse, I did. Unless you were referring to this Darland. Then you are right.

Re: Kokomo Klash
 

Did your car beat him? Whats your excuse?
Cheap shots are just that. CHEAP.
