I apologize. Thanks for the help. Yea just visit www.waynesfieldracewaypark.com or visit us on Facebook. From I-75 go 8 miles east on US Highway 33. Turn left on Waynesfield Road and the track will be on your left hand side a mile down the road. Hope to see you there. Will be exciting to see Jack race again along with some of the other great drivers attending. Heard rumor that we might see Dave Darland racing also. Hoping two time winner Jonathon Hendrick will be in attendance. Come on out and see one last great race in the 2012 season.

A.M.S.A. is encouraging all A.M.S.A.Ligthning Mini Sprint drivers to support the Jack Hewitt Classic race this Sunday Sept. 16th. This is Waynesfield last race for the season. Lets give them a good car count. See you all there.

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

I have stated before that we would like to attend this race but being a Sunday night I still have some reservations. I am leaning on trying it but don't want an all night marathon like LPS had this past week.

This is a special event and four classes don't give me a great deal of encouragement for an early departure. Running the sprint car feature first now has me thinking it could be doable.

Even with an hour earlier start time, adding the modifieds didn't help. Since no one else in the region is running that night, how many modifieds can we expect? I know, how many ever show up.:15: Any thoughts on this are appreciated.

Well, there were 50+ on July 3rd and there were no other tracks running. In addition, the 4th was a holiday. Since this is a Sunday and late in the season, I would guess it would be less than 50. Of course there are so many mods within a 2 hour drive. It could be 100.

Just my reason for concern David. I am sure it will be a good turnout and I know that Waynesfield moves the show along pretty well. With a 2 1/2 hour drive home I don't need a marathon that ends at 1 or 2 AM. 10 PM would be great.

Totally understand. It is only an hour for me and I already scheduled Monday off. I plan on camping and coming home in the am.

Well just as promised I will run the Non Wing cars first. I will push the show as much as possible too. We are going to qualify at 5:30pm and race immediatly after that. I will hot lap one class prior to non wings then hot lap non wings. I will then go straight into qualifying so they have the same track as they hot lapped on. We will then finish the rest of the hot lap sessions and straight into heat races. Unless something drastic happens we will only take a very short intermission after the b-mains and then right into the main events. Like I said before my goal is to push for 10:00 -10:30 at the latest. I'm guessing we will see 32-40 non wing cars (we had 41 two weeks ago for a regular show), 28-34 mods, 15-20 mini sprints, 15-22 trucks. Hope to see you there. I too have to work the next morning so you know I will push the show as much as possible!

Please try to get some moisture in the track for this big show. It will make it much better for competitors and fans. It was awfully dry right out of the box 2 weeks ago.

Thanks,
J.T.

Will you be there?

Would like to. It's a little harder on a Sunday, but we will see. Even if I'm not, for everyone one else that is, it would still be great to have some moisture with a cushion. Especially for Dewitt Hewitt!

In looking at the weather forecast on Sunday with a daytime high of 74 and an overnight low of 52 with a 0% chance of rain right now. That and with a promise of the sprint car feature being run first, RacinBabe and I just might try to be there. Come on, someone twist my arm.:3:

It was a great show last year and I enjoyed the Reynolds Memorial race there earlier this year. After two straight weekends without any racing, I need a fix.

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

in deed, i'm with j t/ theres no rain in the forecast, and a big field of cars a-comin, so dig that track up n water it till it can't take no more n then water it some more/ would like to see em shoot'n up rooster tails at the start of the feature/ ted johnson is dead n so should be the dry slicks!:8:

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

MudPacker, Just a reminder but someone did twist your arm awhile back with a ticket at the window. Think Racinbabe would pass for Quinn ??? Cause he was to have 1 too. Hope to see ya there.

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

Only if it was real dark out,and if you are wearing a # 12 welding shade and taking hits of acid at the same time. Then maybe Racin Babe would pass for me,until you got to using the Braille method! :D:D:D:D

Remind him if you see him Mike,the roads go both East AND West. I've never seen him in Indiana......

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

Hell I went all the way through just today, The short way that is. The way I go is 162 miles from Ohio to Ill.. I don't think Indiana is even that wide. Double Checkered is the 1 you want to remind !!!!!

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

I'll rephrase that. I have never seen you at a sprint car race in Indiana before. Ohio and probably Iowa,never Indiana

I didn't need reminded. I extended the invite and have had 1 taker. I'm glad they decided to come out. It seems as though there is a lot of interest atleast on this message board. I hope all that come have a great evening and enjoy the show. I'll see ya Sunday.

I've been to Kokomo, Winchester, Terre Haute, Gas City, Montpelier, Lawrenceburg & Baer Field. Was going to try & get to a couple of new 1's this year Like LPS, Bloomington & Haubstat (sp). Maybe next year.
I plan on gettin out to Waynesfield about noon & hangin out with Mowerman, Wife & whoever else stops by to chat for awhile.

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

Well, after much deliberation we are planning on hitting the Jack Hewitt Classic this Sunday at Waynesfield. I really enjoy the track and have seen some really good racing there. We are hoping to see another great show to honor one of the true greats in traditional sprint car racing.

Hope we get to see a number of people from the IOW. The enticement was too great to pass up. Thanks Jeremy.

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

Andy that was funny as hell by the way, MudPacker glad to see ya make it & Jeremy that is pretty cool what ya did.

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

The plan is to be there.

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

I told Mudpacker last night that if I had thought ahead of time I would have sent my welding helmet over with him with a few Advil (to look like acid) and a book on how to read Braille,just so you could tell if there was any resemblance between Racin Babe and myself:D:D:D:D

Re: 2012 Jack Hewitt Classic September 16
 

Now that would have been even funnier. Man I just hope a few of the big dogs show up for this. Guess I'll/ We'll find out tomorrow.

From Facebook,

Coleman Gulick if they keep the car together Fri and sat.

Cj leary confirmed.

What is the format for this race? I saw qualifying. What is the inversion in the heats, expected number to transfer, get your time back for the B main, etc?
