Central Kentucky is not Sprint Car country and is a long drive from any area that is. How many did they think were going to travel for $1200 to win?

I said less than 12 moonday

Re: ASCT Racing at Bardstown,KY Tonight
 

enough to race....all that matters ~

I think there would have been more had the race in Kentucky not gotten canceled yesterday..two days of racing down here may have been a lot more worth the long drive for some guys...

Wow...

Re: ASCT Racing at Bardstown,KY Tonight
 

we had all intensions in going but with it only being one day we had to cancel because of it being 7 hours one way soon the weather will break and more people will be able to go

He tried to get it fixed for the feature. Took the push-off but headed straight for the pits.

I commend ASCT for trying topless sprint car racing in a late model area(KY). It's easy for the naysayers that only sit on the porch and rock to "I told you so" after the fact.
I'm sure if weather would have been more desirable the car count would have been up somewhat. ASCT at least gave it a shot there, which is more than most people would have done, so hats off to the group & all that showed up to race there!

I had some friends attend the race at Bardstown last night. From the looks of the size of the crowd in the stands, it looks like they had their choice of the BEST seats.....

Really - a 9 car show? Like I said previously, the ASCT will get my money.......ONCE!

Re: ASCT Racing at Bardstown,KY Tonight
 

Looks like a great track. Sorry I couldn't make it but I don't really want to travel that far either.

I wish ASCT all the best. They will get things going soon.

The true test of what this series can be will come in 2 weeks at Montpelier and Shadyhill. Those are tracks here in Indiana, in the middle of non-wing sprint car country. Montpelier actually has a promotor that will do everything possible to give this series a good track to race at, so in my opinion this will be the first truly good opportunity for the series to do well. They should be able to pull some of the regulars from Gas City and Kokomo. I know it's not the popular opinion here at the good ole' boys club, but I think the Montpelier race could be a really good one for both the sprints and midgets. I will hold my judgement until then, when I see the series in person at a place where they will have a legitimate chance to succeed.

Re: ASCT Racing at Bardstown,KY Tonight
 

My only complaint is its further thinning already thin saturday night racing.

That being said I don't get the bashing of teams trying to put on a show.

Back in the early-mid 90s we were having 8-12 cars showing up at Winged shows right here in Indiana WHY? The same reason teams are looking for alternatives now. COST.

I went to TCRP The racing certainly was not a problem Nor the count. The rest is history.

Re: ASCT Racing at Bardstown,KY Tonight
 

I would like to say thanks to the ASCT and the officials of both the series and Bluegrass Speedway for taking good care of us. I know for a fact, the Friday night rainout cut the car count nearly in half. I also considered staying closer to home since I could not run 2 nights, BUT, I promised to support the Kentucky shows, so I made to tow. As for the series, I'm not really sure why so many people are being so negative. They treated me great, paid the full purse, enforced the rules, and we all had fun. Where I race we have to run 2 rear spec junk tires that cost 200 each. It was nice paying $155 for one spec tire and it still looks like it can run another 2 races!!

As for the Bardstown crowd, the comment about being able to pick your seat there.......I guess you have never been there. Not too many years ago, Bardstown hosted the DTWC for late models. It is a 1/2 mile with bleachers the length of the frontstretch and wrapping almost all of 1 and 2. Their pit bleachers are in 3 and 4 and hold about the same as Montpelier's entire facility holds. I have been to USAC shows at Eldora where I could "pick my seat" too. Just like Eldora, it was a bigger crowd than appeared, the facility just made it LOOK smaller.

I have family in Louisville who came to watch. They said that was an average crowd for that track. Their season opener only saw 10 late models, 6 street stocks and 12 mods. So 9 sprint cars was not the end of their world. I doubt very much that the promoter heard many complaints.

Thanks again ASCT..........can't go to IL this weekend. But I will be back for Montpelier and Shadyhill.
