It's a slippery slope when a promotor criticizes another promotor. I'm not standing up for the guy, but that seems a little less than classy.

There is no entry fee beyond ASCT membership or temp pass.
I wish your track was running Sat, as I was hoping to finally get to the 'Burg since 2007.

All Dave was doing is pointing out the change in tow money from earlier shows....while he did editorialize a bit, I don't see where he was "critical" of the ASCT...do a search on here for ASCT threads. You'll find that they were paying $100 for tow money to cars not making the feature earlier this year.

And Dave's right, IMO, I'd be careful, what with the rubber checks, the four car "exhibition race" that paid $200/car, and all......just sayin'

Race Notes:
Christian Wins at Union County
by Jim Morrison

August 7, 2008 Liberty, Indiana: Kent Christian of Clayton won the 25-lap sprint feature at Union County Speedway on Thursday night. Jeff Bland Jr., was cruising to victory in the sprint feature when he banged wheels with a car he was attempting to lap on the 10th circuit and spun to a stop. Hess inherited the top spot, but Christian was moving up from his seventh place starting position until he passed Hess exiting the second turn on the 20th lap to claim the victory. Bland charged back through the field to claim third from Shuman late in the race.


Heat 1) Jeff Bland Jr, Mike Hess, Blake Fitzpatrick, Kent Christian, Matt Westfall, Cameran McGahan, Travis Hery (flipped)

MIDGETS
Race Notes:
Buckwalter Win at Union County
by Jim Morrison

August 7, 2008 Liberty, Indiana: Steve Buckwalter of Royersford, Pennsylvania won the midget feature at Union County Speedway on Thursday night. Buckwalter led all 30 laps but the race for second was hard fought as Robert Ballou, Mike Hess and Matt Westfall battled. Hess claimed second, Ballou third, Westfall fourth and Christian fifth from 12th.


The midget portion of the program was originally scheduled as the second round of USAC Indiana Midget Week but safety concerns with the track prompted the club to not sanction the event. Many teams opted to leave without turning a lap.


Race promoter Tony Barhorst proceeded with the racing, paying the midget drivers the same prize money as if it were a USAC points paying event of Indiana Midget Week. Fourteen midgets remained in the pits to compete and 14 started the feature.


Heat 1) Robert Ballou, Steve Buckwalter, Dakoda Armstrong, Casey Shuman. DNS Matt Westfrall, Ryan Criswell, Levi Jones

Heat 2) Thomas Meseraull, Kellen Conover, Mike Hess, Rex Norris III, Kent Schmidt, Kent Christian, James Sweeney


A-main (30 laps) 1 Steve Buckwalter 0, 2 Mike Hess (Sandy 16), 3 Robert Ballou (Felker 37), 4 Matt Westfall (Bordner 14), 5 Kent Christian, 6 Dakoda Armstrong 7a, 7 Kent Schmidt 5k, 8 Rex Norris III 63, 9 James Sweeney (Meents 4), 10 Dustin Morgan (Yeley 1h), 11 Casey Shuman (Ellis 73), 12 Thomas Meseraull (Bush 2b), 13 Kellen Conover 76 (flipped) Midgets

Thanks, and anybody that goes, good luck and be safe.

I'm not trying to read too much into it, I'm just saying it seems unprofessional for a promotor to point out something like that. You don't see Mike Miles from Bloomington, Tommy from Gas City, the O'Connor's from Kokomo, Joe Spiker from LPS, or Helfrich from TSS on here doing that kind of stuff.

you don't see them on here period. I don't agree 100% of the time with Mr. Rudisell but at least he IS on here, interacting with the fans, racers and owners AND like he said, he's just watching out for his friends, and he counts the above people as his friends. ASCT, John Gurley etc have gotten on here, made alot of promises and comments, many comments NOT fitting anyone let alone a promoter so they are just having to face the music.......

Re: More Pay for ASCT HARF Night at Union CO.
 

Its a message board, so people like Dave, you, and me can voice our opinions here. However, as a promotor its good to interact with fans and friends while still having a bit of professionalism. If the guy is going to fail at something then so be it. But I would watch piling on if you are in the same business because someday, you might be in the same position.

Checks ... Why do promoters pay with them ? Good or bad I don`t want one . The ticket booth doesn`t take them nor do the concession stand, picture man or souvenir man .

Now that is off my mind... I hope everyone who attends or goes elsewhere has a great time.
