Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7

EXTREMELY WET GROUNDS
FORCE SATURDAY’S PUTNAMVILLE SPRINT RACE POSTPONEMENT


Weather conditions have intervened to force postponement of this Saturday’s AMSOIL USAC National Sprint race at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind.

“The past couple of weeks have been challenging for us and we need a weekend to regroup and address the problems associated with all the inclement weather,” says race organizer Joe Spiker. “We want to provide USAC and its participants with the best racing conditions possible and due to the rain and other factors we are unable to do that this weekend. We plan to be closed this weekend so that we can install additional drainage and make other improvements to our facility to help prepare for similar weather situations in the future.”

USAC officials are in discussion with the race organizer to re-schedule the event as part of the remaining 2011 AMSOIL National Sprint Car schedule.

The next AMSOIL USAC National Sprint race is May 20 at the Bloomington (Ind.) Speedway.

Everyone :15: :15:

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

All the racing is cancelled. Joe plans on finishing the current work to the track surface along with adding drainage tile behind front stretch guardrail and through the pits along with other things.

They are currently cutting the mud off on turns 1 & 2

It says, "We plan to be closed..."

Crap!

LOL what a good question? :3: :5: :3:

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

Wow ... big call there from the Spiker group, but given the track conditions from the first two races, this is the right call ! the extraordinary amount of rain in the past month and a bunch of new dirt on the racing surface that really hasn't had a chance to be worked in correctly this is the right thing to do! Good Luck to the folks at LPS

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

Hate to hear it, but glad you made the call early enough to allow fans to make alternate plans.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

I really appreciate this early announcement. Lincoln Park is just a little under a 400 mile round trip for me, and Mother's Day is Sunday. It is nice to have a little time to make plans. The right decision announced in a very timely manner. Thanks to everyone involved.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

Excellent decision made here. I can tell you that what is going on at the track is only being done because it is needed. With that being said, this will give all you Bomber and Super Stock guys the chance to go over your cars and get everything squared away that may need it to be within the rules.

A big thanks to everyone that had a motor placement issue that got it fixed prior to the last race. Make sure when you guys come to the track next week to have your safety belts replaced if needed. Rules say no older than 2006. This is for your safety. Also a plate under the fuel cell that extends from frame rail to frame rail. NO spoilers!! Also thanks for being patient with me, I am new at this and may be a little slow. Anyone that knows me, can tell you that I will be fair and treat you with as much respect as I am given.

I am also in the process of learning who most of you are. If we have not met, come see me and introduce yourself to me.

Thanks

Thanks for the early heads-up! Nice to know ahead of time! Now D.O. has time to plan a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend for our girls and myself!! See you next week!

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

Is there any way at all that they'd reschedule this race for 5/21, the night after Bloomington?

USAC Midgets are Haubstadt 5/21... so that date won't work.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

Darn the luck

Lets be careful what we wish for. Remember what the weather has been for the Bloomington USAC race the last two years.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

Put it on Tuesday of Sprintweek. But no ISW points.
:35:

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

Thats OK, We would rather sit home and watch old sprint week DVDs and eat fried chickin' on a Saturday night............NOT!! Better luck next time pilgrims.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

I don't like that idea because Twin Cities already has a sprint car race scheduled. I know it isn't USAC but I still would like to see them be successful with a week night show. Why schedule against another track on a week night and hurt both car counts and fans.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

I was having a such a good day until someone mentioned sprintweek.... I know that won't happen.

It's time for me to walk away!

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway cancelled May 7
 

That would be Awsome if that can happen! but ya gotta remember That's a lot of racing in a short amount of time! The top guy's won't show because ISW points are to important as well as race budget's for ISW and they only have 2 day break so that would make it one day off!

Yes maybe half would show up cause of the money who really knows!

Great Idea D.O. Maybe you should post a poll of USAC drivers and teams only that would show up and if there's enough You and Spiker should talk to USAC just remember their staff has a lot of work on ISW also!

Only, cause thats what will bring the most fans in that's most important to keep them happy too! Yes we will have plenty of cars cause all local guys will show up for sure!
