Re: usac at marne?
 

http://www.weather.com Use zip 49435 doesn't look bad, leaving in a bit.

Re: usac at marne?
 

30% chance after 10pm. looks ok.

Re: usac at marne?
 

Light rain developing around late afternoon after 4 pm. Increasing clouds with temperatures steady near the upper 70s. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

That doesn't sound good to me!

Re: usac at marne?
 

rain possible between 5 and 6, 10% from 7pm till 10 then 30%. we have to go it's our home state and rarely get USAC in Michigan. push-em off!

Re: usac at marne?
 

I agree! I would love it of we could get more USAC shows here. Have to support them!

Re: usac at marne?
 

3pm hot and sunny--I can hear them running hot lap while I cut the lawn. Chance of a thunder storm. Nothing show on the local weather. Because of being close to lake Michigan they form over the lake. But if we get one should not last long. I would say they will get the race in tonight. Hope that helps

Re: usac at marne?
 

Thanks!! While I have to go shoot at my local track and can't attend tonights show, I appreciate you guys going. The Hoosiers don't know how lucky they are to see sprint cars 3 if not 4 times a week. As a Canadian I would have to consider Michigan my home state, and the more open wheel the better.

Re: usac at marne?
 

Any guess on car count?

Re: usac at marne?
 

Just received a text that said "about 16 cars"

Tim Wolffrum aka Cowboy

18 cars. Clauson fast in practice. Go to www.twitter.com/USAClive for updates.

From the looks of the crowd that I can see from DM's video, the promoter is really taking a bath! There's almost no one there....

Re: usac at marne?
 

It was more than that Duke, were you there?

Re: usac at marne?
 

Was'nt at either one ,

Re: usac at marne?
 

Good race. Bobby East had it won then something happened to him on the backstretch and he dropped to the inside and back to 8th before starting to accelerate again.

Then he charged back to 2nd driving the wheels off the car but ran out of tire to beat Clauson.

About 1400 people in hte stands i hear.

Track was an absolute handful for most drivers, many really struggling just to get around the place. Awesome though, both the midgets and sprints. Midgets broke JJ Yeleys track recod from 2003.

Re: usac at marne?
 

with johnny vance!

Re: usac at marne?
 

The crowd was weak. Not sure if the weather had anything to do with it, they were calling for rain. I would guess not more the 2,000. 2,000 times 20.00 covers the purse.

I thought the night was about a B rating.

If the sprints had more practice time on that track, I think it would have been better. Looked like they were getting more confidence with every lap.

Dakota turned the fastest lap of the night according to the scoreboard when he took the lead. 15:99. The sprints were running low 16's at the start, then mid 16's at the end pf the features.

Car count was what I had expected. Hope they come back next year.

I question USAC's scheduling. Run the midgets at TRi city the night before, then expect the drivers to drive all night up to Berlin? I thought the WOrld of outlaws were crazy!

Now to get a MIchigan promoter to get them up here on dirt!!!!

Re: usac at marne?
 

Berlin has been having low crowd numbers all year. With very high job loss in Michigan, all things in Michigan are taking a hit. Also Berlin is a stock car track. Alot of times when it is a non stock car--open wheel night, people "take the weekend off. " Also schools just got done for the year the day before, so alot of graduation parties. The NASCAR race this weekend at MIS did not help. (see the above part about "stock car fan"
As far as car counts, you need to bring them. No non wing-big time sprints in Michigan. Will not even bring up Michigan based midgets. Also was the A.V.S.S racing Sat night? Only way to get a large number of cars would be to have them show up. But I think the 1st A.V.S.S. show this year at Berlin only had 16 cars.
Does anyone know what happen to Bobby East? Had the race in the bag till he slowed for a few seconds.

Re: usac at marne?
 

The AVSS ran Friday night at Toledo but were not scheduled for Saturday night. HOSS however was scheduled at Anderson Speedway but got rained out. Many of the HOSS drivers also run with AVSS so that could have had some effect.

Re: usac at marne?
 

Having never been to Berlin Speedway, didn't know what to expect. We were greeted by a "Welcome to Berlin Speedway", very friendly track staff there.I thought the crowd was good, late arriving though.
Thought it was great they let the fans onto the track before the features. Saw alot of smiling faces on little ones, hopefully race fans in the future.
A bugler played the National Anthem, very nice touch. Did hear a couple of grumblings about sprint cars, but none of us? have ever grumbled about fendered cars have we:3:.
Great save by Levi Jones spinning on the front stretch, sliding through the grass and kept it going. They kept the show moving and we were out of there by ten.
Only racing in In. Il. & OH last night.Planned on Kokomo tonight but didn't happen.

Re: usac at marne?
 

Hey Dirtfan weren't you in Michigan?:10::3:

Re: usac at marne?
 

Did you a favor today Mike, went by your house and didn't stop:3:

Re: usac at marne?
 

You should have stopped. It was RacinBabe (Kelly's) birthday and I made breakfast. It would have been a freebie for you.:3: Two weekends in a row you missed out on free breakfast.:18:

Re: usac at marne?
 

Damn, about like my 50/50 luck. Batting 1000 though!

Re: usac at marne?
 

Don't feel bad.:13: Apparently FishBurger didn't win either. Oh wait, neither did I.:10::15:
