I think it was a pretty good show. I would argue there were just as many if not more people there then during a normal years Sprint Week. I was late getting to the track and had to park almost to the intersection of Davis and 300 N.

1st time sitting on backstretch. Never noticed how different the track is back there with it being more like a "D". Thought it was a great show. Really had a big event feel to it. Love late season shows. Would love to see TK in the 14 full time. Great job kokomo and Bernie. Let's do it again!

We really enjoyed watching the show on Dirtvision. The coverage was great and we were happy they showed the non-wing portion as well. The WOO race was one of the best we’ve seen in a while with a lot of passing. The show was over at a reasonable time too (even though we had a short walk up the stairs). 😄

Fabulous Show!! Congratulations to, "Sunshine" on the Non-Wing Win & a solid 7th in the WoO 40 Lap A-Main!! He definitely had a legitimate shot at the $10 Grand!!

As a sprint car fan you have to love a show like that. The World of Outlaws on one of the 'baddest' bullrings and also showcasing Kokomo's non-wing guys.

Loved the show.Need more like that in Indiana.My only complaint albeit a small one was the PA system on the back strech.Very hard to hear or maybe I'm getting old.

I loved it! Of course good racing at Kokomo is not surprising no matter what division is on track.

How many cars did the wing save in turn two? I thought for sure a couple of them were going for the big ride!

SH17 is an absolute monster. I could watch that dude race shopping carts at my local grocery store.

Loved the honesty of Schatz saying he was not gonna go “up there”.

I really like Justin Grant but i feel super bad for Davey Ray. That was all on JG.

Anybody that straps in from a FWD to a 410 has my respect, but 410 drivers, especially non wing, will always hold a special place in my heart.

Lastly, this show was 100% worth every penny and I’d go back to a late October show in a heartbeat. Which IMHO, further show how great of a bargain USAC ISW shows are at $25 in July.

My wife and I thought the show at Kokomo was very good, well organized and spun off in good order. One of our friends from PA said Kokomo is the type of track where it doesn't matter what you run on it they are going to put on a good show. It is a 1/4 mile bullring with good banking and multiple grooves which makes for awesome racing. Sheldon Haudenschild was very impressive all night long but question the dash incident where he finished off Scelzi after getting into him. Felt he could have backed out of it but that's just my opinion, not going to fry him for it. He ran a heck of a good feature race using both the high side and the low side when needed to polish off the field. Great run also by Tim Kaeding in Tony's car but the cushion in turn two bit him and ruined a fine drive. Also good runs by David Gravel, Aaron Reutzel, Logan Schuchart and James McFadden. With the track going away in the non-wing feature those guys still produced some good racing but Sunshine checked out. The rest of the field was the place to watch as battles throughout. Great battle at end between Shane Cottle and Justin Grant with Cottle edging him for second. Dave Darland made late charge to crack top five in fourth. A great night of racing on a cold evening with the program moved along nicely. Hope this will become a yearly stop for the WOO from this point forward. Great crowd and great action in both divisions!!!! Can't say enough about promotion of Bernie and the gang and the track prep from the O'Connors. Great job by all.

Bruce and Pat Eckel :6::6::6::10:

I think you’re right that SH17 prolly could have missed Scelzi in two but i think it was a message sent for Scelzi pinching him a couple times coming off four.

I watched on DV & wish I could have been there!
Glad some of you Hoosier diehards enjoyed the Wingers... great race
I prefer the back stands myself... usually more room, higher & wider view
Too bad Larson didn't show up, would have had a realistic chance for double win. What a great ending that would have been for an incredible weird season! Same for Brady Bacon, surprised they weren't there....
Hopefully this pandemic will be over & I can get out there next summer :31:

Just thinking out loud (aka too much coffee) but is there any chance Larson is staying away these last few races as an attempt to help his brother in law? I did see where he and Owen ran outlaw karts this weekend so maybe it’s more about time with his immediate family more than helping his extended.

I heard it fine. Your just getting old. 😂😂

I enjoyed both features, that was my first WOO event I’ve ever seen at kokomo and I enjoyed it. Now I know I’m gonna take some heat for this but I know Johnny Gibson is one of the most famous announcers but I found his attempts to shout over the cars on the track to be quite annoying. Anyone else or just me?

A thumbs up to the Lawrenceburg Safety Team, top quality as usual :6:

My 2 cents. It was a wonderful event! Congratulations to Bernie and his promotion team. As always the great Kokomo Speedway provides another great track to produce outstanding racing with a hard working friendly staff to go along with it. Just a couple things to note however. Things went right in a big way to contribute to the success of this race. First was a decent and accurate forecast. I might be wrong but I could swear they have been trying to run this, perhaps with other sanctions for a few years and have been beaten by the weather. Second, no competition. No Ohio tracks running, or almost none and no Indiana tracks either, made for an awesome car count. Is this race successful without all the planets aligning? I don’t know but I’m glad they did. I know this, all of the folks on here that hate wings would have an impossible task trying to discount the racing displayed at Kokomo Saturday night.
By the way Heath, I saw today that Kyle is running Late Model and Sprints in Charlotte weekend after this, so he might steal some of his brother in law’s thunder after all

Re: KOKOKOMO 10/24. What's your thoughts on the show last ni
 

I suspect Kyle is just kicking back & resting after incredible season & reinstatement by NASCAR :23:

I kinda agree with you but my thoughts are that the 88 car in NASCAR has no driver yet and the owner of that car doesn’t allow any of his drivers to do extra curricular activity, Jeff Gordon, Sprints and Midgets, Jimmy Johnson, Stadium Trucks! In my opinion and my opinion only, I believe that Larson will complete these last 2 races and then we’ll hear the announcement that Mr Hendrick has hired Larson to drive the 88 car and that will be the last that we see of Kyle on the dirt or any other kind of car. I hope I’m wrong BUT!!!

I shudder at the thought but then again, i dont have to pay his bills. 😂

Welp, looks like Yung Money is in the 5. Again, hope to still see him on dirt but understand if not. Get yours while you can, Yung Money!! Congrats!!

Also from what I’ve seen Kyle is running the Tom Tarlton race for sprints Friday night in Cali. Once again the Flo subscription comes up large!
