Night 2 of the Louie Vermeil Classic from Calistoga live on www.usacracing.com...
 

Hey race fans,

We are now up and streaming live video of tonight's Louie Vermeil Classic event at Calistoga Speedway. Check us out at www.usacracing.com.

I do want to preface this by saying that at times, my little computer has trouble with the program that streams our events, and sometimes it doesn' want to cooperate. If the feed goes down for some reason, trust me, I will be aware of it, and doing all I can do to get it back up. Sometimes it just takes a while. Please be patient with us. Remember, we offer this service as a courtesy to our fans and we do it with the hope of pleasing you. Thanks for your consideration. Enjoy the show...Sincerely,

Dean Mills and Chris Shearer
USAC Media Department

The feed is going great for me, thanks Dean!:6:

Hockett had a huge lead on Swindell and just got up on the cushion and wrecked They just announced Swindell (Kevin) as the new leader and all you could hear were boos... :/

This is a great feature for us to be able to see when we are at home and i hope it continues and more tracks agree to let it happen. Just to back Dean up here, i was hanging around him at Sun Prairie and if he is having problems he doesn't just say "oh well" and neglect the live feed to concentrate more on filming the race. If a problem with the feed arises it bothers him and he immediately tries to make it right. It's a lot to handle for just 1 or 2 guys. Keep up the good work and keep on feeding us live! :6:

That did not happen, we were there and no one boo'd Swindell. There was a bit of a collective sigh, but no boo. The bigger letdown was when 17 year old Kyle Larson ended up flipping trying to avoid Hockett, he was having a great run in the top 3 and the locals wanted to see him get it done.

Sorry first post after lurking for a year or so. I have to completly disagree with you on this one. Last night section 10 was pretty vocal on this topic. Boo's a many. not from me, but from plenty around. Kevin put on a good show as well as all the others. Hope to see them all back next year!

Re: Night 2 of the Louie Vermeil Classic from Calistoga live on www.usacracing.co
 

There was a traffic jam behind that kid, looked like he wouldn't keep his line. I thought someone was going to get hurt! (3 or 4 cars) Until Spencer put the slide job in on him in turn one! You could tell it was coming up again on the leader! Sorry, if you didn't see it coming!:6:
My note: the track was crap last night, but what do I know! Back Home in Indiana, Again.
C.G.jr. A no show!:20:

Sorry Rick, YES there was at least one section that BOOO'd very loud when Swindell was called as the new leader. It caught us off guard when we heard it clearly in the infield, but it was hell-A funny. No comment on Swindell just funny how fans view certain drivers....Yes, too bad for Kyle he was doing a good job...For the Rock fans he was the class of the field sunday night, too bad good run.

It has been crap for years......Nothing new..

Sorry Gasman didn't see the jamb up behind larson as there was a lot going on all over the track. I guess when the web cam only shows one shot from your couch on saturday night thats the only option you have. My self like others paid full price to see a race. You my friend opted for the couch. Was there no racing near your home town? I'll agree this is not Indiana so take it for what it's worth but this is the best we've seen this track in many years. Next time your riding the couch watching a race grab a rag full of methonal and wipe it around so you feel like you were there. Deep inhail, walk over to your putter and post something negative!

Re: Night 2 of the Louie Vermeil Classic from Calistoga live on www.usacracing.co
 

I will admit GasMan50 was there as I spoke with him both Saturday and Sunday night. May not totally agree with him but he was there.

Re: Night 2 of the Louie Vermeil Classic from Calistoga live on www.usacracing.co
 

My apoligies heromaker and to gasman50 I read back home in Indiana and assumed he was watching it from the couch. Maybe I'm to sensitive about this race, but when we only get to see traditional 410 sprints once a year at Calistoga I get fired up with any negativity. Carry on. :20:

Re: Night 2 of the Louie Vermeil Classic from Calistoga live on www.usacracing.co
 

I was there also stoga. The track was good on Saturday night and was taking rubber half-way through the main on Sunday. It was the second time we have traveled to marvelous Calistoga for USAC/CRA after an absence of thirty years. To see the Walt Ross sprint car hot lapping on the track brought back so many memories of the great Gary Patterson (sad). Its alright to be sensitive about traditional sprint car racing @ a great track. I would like to thank everyone involved, including Chad Hawkins, USAC and many others, for making the Labor Day weekend a special racing weekend honoring Louie Vermeil. The track was not crap and the racing was very good.

Re: Night 2 of the Louie Vermeil Classic from Calistoga live on www.usacracing.co
 

Yes, I was there they can't blame the sun and wind for the track condition Sunday night. In fact there was no huggie Pole on Sunday. One thing, someone was missing there, that still races. I just wonder it's the same reason, that he would never race the Outlaw shows there! A darn good driver!

Now why I said (Back home in Indiana) was the track condition! It's not what GP,the Andersen's brothers, Brent Keading, Boyd, Leroy, early Sills, race on! The Hatcher rut wasn't there in turn 2 ! What I saw on Sunday was a wing race, without the wings! Sorry! Could had been better if the Steve Kent groove was there! This showing you what I do know! Been there an done that!:15: My son blames Kenny, I blame the prep! You just can't destroy that clay.

It is great that most of the town helps out and the parking and everything goes to the schools!

Talked with the Heromaker, and Austinsprinter!:8:
