Too many miles between the 2 tracks with big shows to really affect each others car counts. Whoever shows up will be here. Does it really matter. Just go to a track of your choice and have fun.

Earlier this week, one of the Pottorffs started a thread telling about how Brady Short was running one night this weekend in the 36 car and the other in their 11P. Since he finished 3rd in the 36 last night @ Bloomington, I think that means that he'll be at LPS tonight in the 11P.

What did you mean by the comment about Stanbrough? Are you saying his girlfriend is lucky at drawing for him or do you think he is cheating? Guess I'm confused with the "imagine that" comment.

Re: Lps
 

never seen a guy get so many front rows from a blind draw;)

Re: Lps
 

Congrats to Kyle and the entire 3C Racing team. Now, go buy a new 4 wheeler...lol

Re: Lps
 

We made our first visit to Lincoln Park Speedway saturday night. Here is our observations.
1. Track easy to find. PA system easy to understand.
2. Program started close to advertised time. :6:
3. Program run thru efficiently and in a timely manner.:6:
4. First thought is that 3 support classes are too many.
5. Hole in turn 3 bit several cars.
6. Despite rubbering up, track held together pretty well was fairly racey.
7. Bury the tires in the corners,
8. Wish you could bring your own beer in. Decent rest rooms.
9. Cajun peanuts are an exellent idea.
10.Tenderloin sandwich get a thumbs up.
11. Easy in and easy out of track.

Race Review............

Congrats goes out to Kyle Cummins and Crew. Kyle had the restarts down pat and rode the cushion like a champion. Ballou's bonzai move on last corner was well planned and a valient effort. Cummins used the crossover move to perfection. Stash bro had a good solid run as usual, but this showed that he is beatable on any given night. Excellent MSCS field of cars. Cool to see Kurt Gross back in action, and to make the feature was probably a plus. Man, has Holtsclaw found a new powerplant or what. He is looking very impressive of late. All in all a very enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, looked like Cummins crew will have to use race winnings to but a new 4-wheeler. That sucks. As it is a 2 hour 15 minute trip to Bloomington or LPS, I think that B-Ton just got bumped down a spot on my travel list due to conditions of last several trips to B-Ton. Be back again.

They had a foot high birm as of last week this was the first week for tires laying loose idk think we had 3 yellows for the tires..lol

Didn't car for the burm at first but it grew on me and.now they go back to tires hope that was just a Mscs or ump thing and they're not going back to it

Re: Lps
 

Bob,

Surprised to read that last night was your first visit to LPS. It has always been one of my favorites.

Re: Lps
 

Both the sprint and modified features were great races. Kyle Cummins jumped out right off the bat and was the frontrunner. He was up top, where guys with that last name like to be and was flying. The battle behind him, the one that would determine who his challenger would be, was where the show would be, on this night. After about three laps in, it became evident that the 12 car of Robert Ballou was going to be the field's chief predator. But he started on the outside of the 5th row, so if he was going to do so, he was going to have to whip his way through a swamp full of gators to even make it to the leader. It would be easy to track his progress however, since his car is now the color of a road construction sign. A color those of us who frequent I-70 a lot have become all to familiar with.:15: In turns one and two, he was backing it in low, Bob Kinser style and rocketing out of two. On the other end, he was mainly throwing it in a little higher, using the ledge at the exit of four to keep his momentum. But he was also switching up and occasionally diving low on that end, when the opportunity presented it's self to use a slider to take someone's position. Braylon Fitzpatrick, Wes Mac, Josh Clemmons, Chris Windom, Bill Puterbaugh and Jon Stanbrough were all racers he had to duel with on his way up through the field and none went down easily. Especially Puterbaugh, Windom and Stanbrough. Those three were great battles. Stanbrough, in typical JS fashion, battled back hard, almost taking the spot back on a couple of occasions. And then, just as it looked like the main thing to watch was Ballou's pursuit of Cummins, the battle right behind Robert was joined by Danny Holtsclaw, who had started even further back than Ballou had. He had raced around the bottom, under the radar, passing everyone. His momentum would stop right there, though. So, Kyle had the lead, but he was being reeled in by the Madman, lap by lap. As the laps wound down, he caught him on several occasions, but when he would set up to make a move, Kyle would speed away. And as this was happening, Puterbaugh, who had gotten spun and went to the tail about half way in, was tearing through the field and was threatening to get back into the top 5. Robert closed in on Kyle one last time as the white flag flew and the crowd was on the edge of their seats, because it was going to come down to Kyle Cummins, who had already won possibly the race of the year at this track, a couple of months earlier and The Mad Man Robert Ballou, who doesn't go anywhere to finish second!! Kyle was ahead going down the backstretch, but Robert was closing in on him. Kyle went high in three and four and Robert dove low and threw a big slide job, crossing under Kyle. If it stuck, he would snatch the win away on the last turn of the last lap. If it didn't, Kyle would take home yet another piece of LPS hardware. It didn't quite stick, Kyle waited for the opening and outraced Robert back to the start-finish line. The crowd was on their feet. And they should have been, because neither one of those two drivers left anything on the table. They both gave it their all and reminded everybody why we all love this sport.

Just when you thought that couldn't be topped, here came the modified feature. Derek Groomer led throughout the first three quarters of this race, but the entire time Brian Hayden was on him like white on rice. It was amazing how much pressure Hayden was putting on Groomer and was in command of his race car so much that he repeatedly came within inches of him, without touching him. He was above him, below him and a few inches behind him. Groomer eventually succumbed to the pressure, made a mistake and Hayden seized the lead. It was over after that. Groomer tried to battle back, but never really threatened Hayden for the lead. It was a fantastic race though. Hayden just flat outdrove one of the better modified drivers in the country. The crowd was once again stunned with what they had just saw!

The other thing that was obvious, for the second year in a row, is how much the Putnamville fans come out in droves to support the MSCS. It was the biggest crowd he had all last year and it was a Sprint Week sized crowd, last night. They got their money's worth last night, so I bet they'll turn out big next year, too.

Re: Lps
 

Yeah Ron, I know. Tough to get out of town that much while raising two kids. They are 16 (North High) and 20 (I.U.) now so it is going to be easier making road trips. Not quite retired yet , like some fortunate ones, but will be some day. Until then though, like I said LPS may replace some of my Bloomington trips!

Re: Lps
