Hopefully I'll be able to find something out when they rework the track, but I can't promise anything.

Shaw had Weir, Short, Cummins, Cone, Fitz
He also had a busted window when he returned to his car. He thinks a rock came off the track and got it.

Re: Any Haubstadt Updates
 
Kudos for Scottie for coming out of his comfort zone tonight, and coming down to run with us. That is what true winners are made of. Ballou would have made a battle if he did not break.

Mister track expert, the turns neeeded some extra grooming after the heat races because of all the rain last night & this morning the dirt was clotting up in chunks in the turns. I guess you like to see accidents.

Lightning, ever hear of it? The reason it took so long for the lights to come back on is the bulbs have to cool before they will fire again. Higher quality bulbs will refire, but they are more costly. The delay was no big deal. I told my wife that now she has a story she can tell everyone at work.

racing2a 9/7/09 1:46 AM

Re: Any Haubstadt Updates
 
Still the best surface in the country! I live 8 miles south of the track and over night we have about 2+ inches of rain. Most track would not have run tonight. Not the best racing I have seen here but as long as we raced it was good.

Jim Halpert 9/7/09 1:52 AM

Re: Any Haubstadt Updates
 
My first trip to Haubstadt this year...rough track, but still a very exciting and entertaining race. Tough luck for Ballou who tried the top with all his might...and Danny Williams, Jr. who had a crazy night! Congrats to Scotty Weir and thanks to all the TSS crew for giving this race fan an option after DuQuoin got cancelled!

ThrottleHead 9/7/09 2:15 AM

Re: Any Haubstadt Updates
 
I left the track 7 minutes after the checkers. I got on I64 to head towards Louisville and it was starting to rain. THAT'S cutting it close!

They got the show in with lightning shows to the east and south. Tommy caught a break! With all the rain they had earlier.... all but a very few would have called it off for the night. Helfrich did what he does best... worked the dirt and got all he could out of it. Yea track was a bit rough.... but the feature was still a good one!

The track wasn't in the best shape but it was still a good race and I think I saw the best Mod show of my life, they were getin it

I think you mean Ricky Williams......

Congrats to Weir for the win and another strong outing for Kyle.

But why was this only a 25 lapper instead of the advertised 30 laps. I paid for 30.......do I get a 20 percent discount in 2 weeks?

And as for the track conditions, dont blame the rain..........King Tommy was dumping water on the track beforehand!

By the way it did not rain at Kokomo as you posted. Hope every one had fun where ever they went. I went to Kokomo saw an excellent race. Hope you did too. I like Haubstadt and the staff, but sometimes all the "Haubstadt homers", who only go there and do not ever venture off there porch chase me away. Don't quit your job to become a weather man. Just out of curiosity Mr. Lynch how does one know which race was better if he only attends one?

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson: Tis better to remain silent, and be thought a fool, than to use one's keyboard to remove all doubt.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was a poet, lexicographer, travel writer, essayist, editor, and the leading literary scholar and critic of his time.

$18 for a regular show you could have seen anywhere for $12. Modifieds put on the best show by far.

Ballou was almost worth the price though. Hated to see him tear up.

Re: Any Haubstadt Updates
 
Track was VERY rough in the middle of entry on 1 and 3. Quite a few cars bounced through it to make the high line work for them. Ballou tried it one lap and nearly stopped the car and cut down in front of someone (dont remember who) and broke the driver side wheel. Scotty Weir had it figured out on the bottom and with the cushion building up about 10-15ft from the bottom of the track it was hard to get around him.

Track was pretty good if you think about how much rain the area had. Just amazed that the race was on. Good job to the track crew. If you are complaining that he worked it you must not of been at the same track I was. There was easily about a 10-12" rut about 3 feet wide going into 3. That just makes it dangerous to race and tears up the equipment.

For those that didnt stay for the modifieds, you missed a pretty good show too. First time its been like that for me but it was worth it to stay. Iguess they like a little bit more of a rough track.


Why does everyone always complain about something?? I guess its human nature. Just be glad that the show was on and you saw some racing.

Wha exactly is his comfort zone? I have seen him race from PA to California, and almost everywhere in between. Nottrying to start anything, I just don't understand what you meant.
