Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Looking forward to this event. Wish it were more than one day. Would be great for this to be turned into a three day special like Smackdown is at Kokomo. Why not showcase TSS the same way. Have a second marquee event at the we only other track in Indiana that could handle it. Everyone come out and support the Helfrich family.

Unfortunately the Central Indiana heavy Sprint Car Fanbase won’t support a southern Indiana event of that magnitude.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Valid point, we ll have to discuss next time we see you all at Kokomo, Gas City, or Lburg

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Valid point indeed.

Don't know until you try.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

I am going to Circle City on Friday. Not 100% sure if I can make Tri State on Saturday. As for wishing it was a 2 day show. I can only remember one 2 day show at Haubstadt, since I first went there in the mid 80's. It was MOWA the first night, and the Outlaws the second night. I didn't go, but I am sure they had a good crowd for the Outlaw portion.
I would go for sure, if this was a USAC full points race. Not sure why they don't take advantage of a close battle for the championship. Seems like you could really use that to your advantage. As for Central Indiana fan base not supporting, that road runs both ways. How many people from southwestern Indiana made it to the Smackdown? With my health problems, late at night and early mornings are when I really struggle. If I knew they could be done around 10 local time, I could talk myself into that 4 hour drive while losing an hour. Hope it is a good race, and a good crowd. Early weather looks good.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Im planning on doing the Haubstadt double. The racetrack and Dewigs meat market. (The Disneyland of butcher shops)

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

You have to create and grow a event. Most don't profit first year but if it's worthwhile and people get the word out. It grows.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

The central Indiana people can just visit their local John Deere dealer two days in a row and save on expenses.

As long as they have fries Saturday, all will be good. That double cheeseburger just wasn’t the same without fries last time. 😕

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

If I am able to go, I will be there early enough to hit Dewigs.

They have had a previous 2 day show but it was a USAC race followed by a Outlaw make up show. That said, they could handle a multi day event anytime they want to schedule one. As for the tractor haters maybe they should attend more Ohio tracks so they can get their fill of dust.

They would of had fries if it weren’t for 2 special folks!

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

I was really hoping we could avoid the usual whining about John Deere. The surface is fantastic. I wish people would spend equal energy whining about minimal efforts and less than stellar surfaces at some of the other tracks. This will be a great event.

[QUOTE=BrentTFunk;568431] As for Central Indiana fan base not supporting, that road runs both ways. How many people from southwestern Indiana made it to the Smackdown?

I would submit that there were plenty of fans supporting Kyle and Chase that wknd. Obviously without personally asking where they were from we will never know. The real statement/question you might want to give light to is, why were there any empty seats at Smackdown Saturday? After solving that, then worry about the road running both ways.

Every year the Hustler gets a good crowd but I read complaints about, tractors, the drive is too long, the time zone is a problem. For once I’d like to read about what a great show and maybe the event can grow to a multi day deal!

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Amen to that! :8:

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

For many race fans this is an accepted part of the show. I havent been every where but Ive been to a lot of race tracks and youll be hard pressed to show me a better prepared racing surface. The Class Track is a title that they earn every show. I just look at it as three more heats,plus they run em backwards. How bad ass is that? Tote up, hit your flast and enjoy the show :9:

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

The vast majority of shows I've attended across all the tracks I've been to, there is typically an intermission. Sometimes tracks use this time to water/rework the track, sometimes it is simply an opportunity to sell more concessions. The only time I've ever taken issue with any track on this practice is when it drags on excessively. My experience has been that Tri State prepares a fantastic surface in a very efficient timeframe and I have never left late because of the track prep time. Haubstadt is one of my favorite tracks because of the racing that the track surface provides. I just wish I lived a little closer so I could get there more often.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

While I can often TIRE of the constant track work, it is the best option for the racing involved. Hope they can get a good balance on the track conditions, so the last 20 laps are 3 lanes wide and drivers have options.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Haubstadt had a two day outlaw show during COVID. Carson Short won the 1st night, don't remember who won the 2nd night.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Haubstadt had a two night WOO show during COVID. Carson Short won the 1st night.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

I heard repeated commercials for the 4 crown on the sports radio station in Indy the last few days. Maybe they could try that.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Carson Macedo won 2nd night if my Stroh’s memory is correct :32:

Great facility. Fans are passionate. Did not know they had so many local great shoes. I was there a few years ago. Tractors and push trucks are a trip. Must see.

I prefer tracks that prep it right to begin with, don’t start too early and don’t need to rework the track. I’ve found that provides the best night of racing. Some promoters want to be a part of the show and run their equipment in front of the crowd and that’s their right just not my preference unless the track is total junk from not enough water and starting hot laps too early in the day.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Haubstadt has for years been a truly class track in the midwest. More times than not, coming back and farming the track before feature has worked extremely well for them with really great racing. and... they still allow coolers to help out fans and families and they still get you out at a decent time.

Always one of my favorite tracks to visit in the summer

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Do you really think Tommy gets off running his equipment as part of the show? What do you think he spends per night running those tractors and trucks? I don't think it is for fun.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Didn't realize sarcasm was so hard for some people to comprehend. Guess I should have used blue font.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Great show at TSS. Efficiently run. One support on invite only status. Track prep awesome as always. Fantastic crowd. This event needs to grow to multiple nites!!

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

I will agree they had a great crowd. I am glad, and think it is great that they put up the extra money. Wish the track would have been like it was the last 10 laps for the first 30. Was follow the leader down low for the first half.
I think the format really hurt the racing. Not one single pass for the lead in the heats or the feature. Happy for Brady Bacon. He qualified 15, started on front row of his heat, and won the feature without ever passing a car. Not every baseball game ends 3 to 2.
Yeleyfan 76. Did you tell anyone from the track that you think it should be a multi day show? I am sure if they wanted to do that, it would already be done. Why not approach the people who can make it happen, instead of just saying it here.

Re: Haubstadt Hustler
 

Unfortunate ending for Aric Gentry on and off the track. Last two events at Tri State ended badly for him. Hope things improve for him.

Was Aric the driver who hit the other driver in the head as he walked by?

With his steering wheel. Yep. Yet somehow the other driver is catching all the flack 🤔

TSS seems to bring out the "best"out of certain Robards Ky racing competitors, another was arrested a couple of years ago for going after someone with a tire tool?
🤔
Oh & he killed his chances of a MSCS Championship.
