Casey is one of the more interesting guys using twitter. It could mean everything, or it could be an inside joke with a select few.

Some one might have access to a real time satellite camera ? ... really hard to hide what your doing in today's market !

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

I was told it is a two cylinder compact car for the new figure eight track being built in the morning. ;) After dark they will be testing the electric sprint car to make sure the headlights will hold up for 100 laps.

Now remember this was just a rumor we heard here in Kokomo. :19:

Maybe the sprints or midgets could be their support series if all goes well.:5:

Maybe it is USACs new Sprint car 309 sprint car with a enclosed pod type set up ran on KFC grease fuel and Jiffy Peanut Butter Motor Oil

I heard it was a firestone tire test.

I have it on good authority that it is a natural gas-powered sprint car. The problem they are having is getting the engine compartment large enough to install the cow.

i was there and seen it first hand. hamster wheel powered cars. they seemed to have issues with them flying off the wheels during corner entry.

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?

Electric-powered sprint cars with dust collectors to pacify the neighbors.

they were layin down asphalt?

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

I'll bet they water the pavement at 5:45.... just to be sure the rubber doesn't build up

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

it is prob a methane fueled sprint car from all the bs in here! /just sayin!
:42::

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

Did the neighbors complain about the noise....after all it was a Sunday. :24:

Heard it was a exhaust test with gun silencers so by the end of the race night, the fans would be worn out from making the "vroom vroom" sounds and the noise issue would just kinda fix it's self......

Got this from an unnamed source who isn't authorized to comment.

No, that isn't a wing, they are solar panels.

Attachment 6641

Couple of technical hurdles:

1) Need to cut out the fenders for DT-3's.
2) Need to figure out how to coordinate red lights with cloudcover.
3) May need to start a little earlier.
4) Need to rename "Hot Laps" to "Mediocre Laps".

Any other technical issues with the new format that we have overlooked?

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

Just one issue....I'm sure you are already on top of it... can you convince the EPA that since the cars are solar powered they should ease up and cut you some slack on track prep....races will obviously have to be daytime shows now....back in the day to combat dust they would coat a dirt track in oil...then the EPA said NO WAY!!!... but since there will be no use of typical fuel, no emissions and no noise surely they will give you a break and allow you to oil the track??

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

New winged, rear engine solar power sprint cars. :3:

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

Actually the problem of daytime racing and solar powered cars has been solved. The track will be lit with ten thousand tanning lamps. Not only will the fans see good racing, They will get the back from the beach look as well.

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

Rumor has it here in the Redbud City that our fearless leader Bill Gardner is starting up a golf cart racing series at LPS. He has been working on it for some time and today is the secret test session.

The word from an unnamed source was that Bill plans to lease LPS on Sunday nights for a special midnight race at least twice a month. Each show is suppose to end with fireworks at 5 AM so all of the neighbors can get to bed early and still be up before the crack of dawn without an alarm clock.:3::10:

How about it Bill?:31:

@CaseyShuman :9:

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

Mike, I have a different plan for the neighbors.;)

As for the golf cart racing... I've tried to get someone to challenge me, I think everyone is afraid.:D

Re: Super secret test session at LPS?
 

It is a new more fair points system. They won't keep track of the finishing positions and everyone will get a trophy and at the end of the season everyone will be declared champion.

So it won't be a attendee championship anymore? That's what it seems to be. Amazing what lil shy started with 1 tweet. Who says there's know power in social media
