Boss Sprints at Florence KY May 27th
 

Been a decade since MSCS ran back to back years there and were good shows.

Boss fills the roll this weekend
If I can make it, I plan to be there
Boss Sprints
Crate Models
Crown Vics and I think sport mods.
Dollar drinks, dogs and some other things.

15 dollar gate
Gate at 530
hot laps at 6
Racing 7pm

MSCS had guys running four in the fluff Coons and Clayton, Wish full LM's were on the card, They race like Sprint cars at Florence, Sliders and eating cushion.

See you there if family member is well enough to go.

I’ve only been a couple times to Florence but it’s a cool ass place, DRINKS and regular concessions are very reasonable and the track itself is great.

Florence is a pretty cool track. It seems somewhat unique with an elevation change going uphill into turns 1 and 2, and downhill into turns 3 and 4. Racing is usually good but I’ve never been there for sprints.

Saw Ballou throwing sparks off the pushbar against the wall in 3/4 last time I saw sprints there.

I am excited for this one for a couple of different reasons, I have never been to Florence to I will be checking that off of the list and this is the first race that I am taking the new camper to. Hoping to get in Florence and then make the trek up to Kokomo for Sunday. So if you see some idiot that looks like it's his first time trying to park a camper come on over and say hi! See you there.

If I can make it, I'll be sitting turn one end of the main grandstand, Not the mini grandstand in one. Probably first section about four or five rows up. Close to restrooms and concessions. went to spring 50 and they've changed the grandstand steps so it's a bit easier. First step used to be two feet tall, Not anymore.

Florence also has back straight seating and parking They only sell beer on front straight but they have a full service bar back there. if that's your thing.

Im a big guy, can't miss me.

Westfall
Lewis
Haselet

18 cars.

Lewis led the first fifteen or so laps on the bottom with most running the bottom Matt couldn't pass him so he went topside and within three or four laps was around and gone.

Good show, Great crowd. they got a Flo LM night next weds too.

The 4 is like the nascar 22. You don't want him in P2 if you are in P1.

This was my first time to Florence and I doubt it will be my last, kind of a paperclip with decent banking. During hot laps and qualifying it was entertaining just watching the sprint cars try and stay straight coming down the front stretch as the weight would transfer.

I thought the racing was really good through the heats and the feature, the BOSS guys usually put on a nice show, what they lack in pure power they make up for with diversity of drivers and equipment. There are a lot of comers and goers in their races usually. I had Westfall and Lewis pegged as the guys to beat and it was a good race between them, Matt tried low for about ten laps and then decided to try the cushion and was able to get it done.

Sometimes you go to a track that doesn't typically race sprints and they have issue with push vehicles, not the case with this race as Many of Eldora's regular trucks were there with others to help out. It should also be stated that Lawrenceburg's safety team was there to assist, I think Indiana race fans take them for granted sometimes as they travel around to help out at other tracks. I would put them up against any safety crew that I have seen in the country, just my opinion.

They also did a great job of moving the show along as the support divisions were always ready to roll. Kudos to the support divisions as well as there were not a ton of cautions that seem to plague them like they sometimes do.

Florence seems to have plenty of stands, there was a little wait in line to get in the building and there were lines for food but they moved along at a decent pace not to mention it was $1 night for some foods which I'm sure made for longer lines.

Florence is not the place yo want to go for the first time to take your camper to a track, not a flat place in the parking lot. We got it done though.

As I said, I will probably go back. I kept thinking that I would love to see the National guys there and I think I would like to see some Late Models on the track to compare.

Was good to see you again KB. The LM's at big events will run the cusion and throw bomb sliders like the sprints can. You'll often see Josh Rice and Bobby Pierce throw sliders and scrape the wall riding the rim.

Sadly like all of racing they no longer run weekly Full up LMs and suffer in at car counts like many tracks are. Ten Grand to win races sometimes don't pull a full field.

Luckily they got four or five events going for em. Latham, North South, monster trucks.
That crowd saturday was bigger than the spring fifty.

Re: Boss Sprints at Florence KY May 27th
 

Yes Charles, it was nice to talk if even for just a few minutes. Hopefully I will see you if we both make it to L-burg Midget week.
