I new sooner or later they would throw junk in with the sprints.What happened with sprints only on thursdays

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

I knew sooner or later someone would respond to this with a comment like that.

After talking to a former sprint car driver last night in the pits he said Spiker "HAD TO" put in a support class. There is no way he can run one class and make money.

Great post affordable. Makes you look like a genius. Good thing they had mods at terre haute last night to support your 14 sprint cars that showed up... Classy classy

I talked to a few drivers who said they would welcome one additional class which would give them some additional time to get the car ready.

If you've ever worked on a sprint car, you know how much work is required. Especially for the guys who are in the last heat race and must run the B-main. If you mix in a "minor" crash and it makes it almost impossible to be at the lineup chute in time.

Look I enjoy watching sprint cars more than any other car on the track, but to call these cars junk is another thing! The guys/ladies who put there time and money in their cars deserve more than that! They put on a show and have fun doing it! So before you call them junk maybe you should climb in one a take it for a ride! :32:

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

okay sorry for calling them junk I know they put alot of time and lots of money in them,and they dont get paid much for running.But all year he's been advertising sprints only and alot of people thought it it was working out,good car count good crowds put I can see your point on needing more time to work on the cars.I spoke before thinking SORRY

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

gene if you think these cars are junk just stop on by the shop and ill show youn just how much money we have in this junk you should think before putting your foot in your mouth and you know who this is

also this has not been planned all year for thursday racing, and he only had 300-350 general addm. tickets sold, last thursday didnt count, has only had one thursday sprints only show, easier for people to talk sh## without knowing what there talking about

one other thing on thursday night sprints yes it was promoted as sprints only if you cant get enuff sprints or fans to support it then dont do it, plain and simple, jmo

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

I agree with Chris and Carmichael...another class is needed and "wanted" in my opinion. On the Thursday show for June 7th, we ran the last heat race, and barely had time to fuel the car for the B-Main...luckily we did, and made the A-Main...but it would have been nice to have a little more time to make some adjustments to the car and double check some things before firing off again...Looking forward to this week!

GOOD MOVE LPS!! :6: Some other teams need to get the chance to have fun two nights a week!!

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

now now be nice

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

Kenny I apologize to you and any other driver or fan that I might have offended.I know you have a lot of time and money wrapped up in all of the cars you have.I defintly used a bad choice of words.Agian I apologize to everyone that I offended I know the cars arent junk.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

Kenny i was there and if he only sold 350 GA tickets then either a bunch snuck in or were let in free because it sure looked like there were more than that in the stands. The 1st thursday they didnt start until 45 minutes past the advertised start time. On a normal Saturday they finish the sprint feature "about" 10. With 1/2 the cars in the pits they STILL finished at 10. Please get the show started on time so we can get out a little earlier. That being said I dont think the show will run longer with the added class taking up the downtime. Flame me if you want but I have to work the next day and I would really like to be able to go to these races and not lose sleep.

I've had my sprint there every Thursday since it started and I think one more class would benefit everyone. Owner, driver, fans. One class (if the track makes everyone hussle) should not slow down show much at all but will keep the down time away, give everyone time to get ready for the next race, and make the track
More money which will insure a race track can stay alive. I think it's awesome to have two nights a week local and thank Lps for the opportunity.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

yes getting home late is the most commom complaint, followed by not starting on time, thinks alot of tracks tracks have problem with that, at least we still have places to race

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

Pretty cool to have qualifying at a local show and help bridge the gap for the local races who want to expand to some USAC shows down the road and want to learn that trait... the younger guys of course and not horrible racers like myself. It's crazy how nice and appreciative the LPS staff is to the guy who come out to have some fun and brings a trailer in the back gate as well. My .02 is also that a support class is a welcomed addition to a two man team like mine to give at least one breather or two from making adjustments and stacking tearoffs as the night rolls on. I'm not sure we'd all be complaining if we could have just one quick refresher night with Dave Allison at the helm again, racing putnamville back them required petrolium jelly.

Thats kinda like the pot calling the kettle black isnt it ;):D

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

Maybe the track will have lots of water this week instead on the hard lick surface,,i think they need to water the curb around the track really good...cause it dries out and the dust and dirt gets thrown out onto racing surface then it really gets slick

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

im glad stewart drove and won all those championships in those different cars before he got his mod.so he could handle and maybe win one in a mod lol as far as junk goes ive spent way more money and time on my mod then i ever did on my sprint these cars are not near as for giving as a sprinter but when u get enough good drivers i think its as good of racing as there is. but please all u guys that only want to c sprints stick to ur guns and dont dare drop ur gaurds or ever try anything new in life that way u will never have to swallow any pride.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

ok ok, he reeled in his "junk" comment, so let that one go. I hope everyone understands that you need to pick your level of racing, both for talent and finances. Some of the most fun racing you can see are those last features of the night, the street stocks, thunder cars, whatever you wanna call em, they are as serious as AJ Foyt out there, and you better not use that "junk" talk in the stands when all their kin and friends are still there rootin' them on. It's called the love of racing, some can afford to do it out of an 18 wheeler with spare everything on the walls and some do it on an open trailer and a spare tire or 2 from the junkyard. God Bless all you racers out there, thanks for entertaining us. bob:8:

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway-Thursday Night Sprints
 

Shame on you Bob.:19: If you are going to post, then you need to be politically correct. It isn't a junkyard but a used auto parts facility.;):3:

Btw... There will be some extra cash available to the guy who is fast time.

As Bart Scott, a New York Jets linebacker once said... Can't Wait!
