ASCT at Mt Vernon, IL Is it still on?
 

Haven't seen anything posted, but I stopped by the track Monday and they are still planning on the sprints being there. We're going to take the wing off again and run this show if it's still on.
Thanks,
Dan Chady

I am having technical difficulties with the site, which should be fixed today and I apologize to the ASCT racers and fans for the delay of the press release.....Here is the press release from them....

Will we be able to buy the RR at the track?
Thanks,

The track announced the ASCT race on the StlRacing.com forums. I'd say we are good to go.

For those of you who have never been to Mt. Vernon to race or see a race; expect too see a dry slick, dirty, one groove on the bottom track, unless this have improved (which I doubt) in the last 4years since they last ran a Midwest All-star wing show there. I hope I'm wrong. They are advertising on local radio regularly for this show.

Who else is planning on being at mt. Vernon??

Pretty sure the #90 car of Patrick Budde will be racing and Craig and I will be wandering around the pits

Maybe it's just me, but isn't it counterproductive to run this race against ISW at TSS at the same time and less that 100 miles apart?

Like I said, maybe it's just me.:11:

Re: ASCT at Mt Vernon, IL Is it still on?
 

I don't really see it as being much different than this past Saturday. Gas City had ISW, but Paragon and LPS both ran the same night.

Also, no offense, but I don't think that ISW will alter the car count for ASCT.

What about the fan count? It can't help.

What about the fans going to Paragon and Putnamville? They would affect Haubstadt more than anyone who is going to Mt Vernon. And I'm sure usac or TSS isn't advertising in the greater Mt Vernon IL area. It's my experience there, that as they are running their regular show with the ASCT, most of the fans are there weekly regulars.
I'm sure the Haubstadt show will be like most of the other Sprint Week nights.....standing room only with some awesome racing.

Steve, are you coming down? If so we'll have the helmet with us.

Re: ASCT at Mt Vernon, IL Is it still on?
 

I've seen some great racing there, but every time I've been there that place has been a tire eating monster...

Good luck with the show... bring plenty of rubber, it blacks off during hot laps. Wish I could be in three places at once Saturday night... but thats life.

By the way Lauren... How's Craig doing?

You know, the irony here is that when Ken Lomax had the track in the 90s, you could count on Mt. Vernon to have one of the best surfaces in the STL-area.

I wish ASCT all the best with this show, but I'll literally be driving right by there to go to Haubstadt.

Re: ASCT at Mt Vernon, IL Is it still on?
 

Joe,

Craig is doing better, but he is still hurting a bit. Last week he said that he thought the reason he didn't feel good was because he hasn't been doing anything..He still has some pain in his chest from the belts and he still gets dizzy if he sits up or turns around too quickly.

He went back to the doctor last week and the doc told him that he still isn't allowed to do any heavy lifting, running, or jumping

No problem, there are a couple other cars that I don't recognize as well and I haven't had a chance to walk up to look at the lineups yet either.

Do you want updates this evening?
