Anderson this Sunday April 14th 100 lapper
 

Sun, Apr 14 - Glen Niebel Classic
Glen Niebel Classic - USSA Sprints, Mel Kenyon Midgets


Not one post about this race coming up... A 100 lap Sprint car race at Anderson. All the posts on here are all about dirt.

No wonder pavement racing is where it is. Is there no excitement for this race?

I hope a lot of you guys show up to support this series. If not, pavement sprint cars without wings will be gone soon and probably for good this time.

Thank you Don Kenyon and Eric Bunn for giving these guys a place to race. I hope it's a sold out show.

This race had slipped my mind till earlier this afternoon when I saw Eckert's Month of April calendar on his Sprint car stats facebook page.

USSA announces their schedule,and then you never seem to hear a word from them. No hyping the race leading up to it etc. They are not alone in not sending out any PR beforehand though......

I was actually just about to post something about this race. Thanks for posting! I will be there. Hopefully there is a decent car count.

Another website - www.pavementsprints.com It's all about pavement winged and non-winged. New site, check them out. They are giving pavement sprints a site that anyone posting won't get ripped for liking pavement over dirt races. A very comprehensive list from across the country of the different pavement groups and their schedules.

Hello, first 3 day weekend,of Racin ??

I forgot this race was on a Sunday and just came to the conclusion that I'd miss it. Now, it looks like I might make it up there. Should be a good day of racing and hopefully everyone comes out to see it. I'd love to see this series take off like the Xtreme Series and run more and more tracks each year. There is definitely something to be said about racing a sprint car on pavement. Wing or not!

Maybe some of the people coming into town for the Kokomo GP will stick around...

1 lap Heat Races for the Kenyon Midgets, man that's short lol. Think they meant to add a zero. Hope the USSA Sprint Car Series has a great Opener! I would love to be apart of it!:D

Go old school and put some pavement tires on that dirt car. :5:

Pavementsprints.com posted something on Twitter about this race. Not everybody does the Twitter thing though. I'll be there too. Hopefully I can find myself a crew job :43::

There are some big names coming to Anderson on Sunday (USAC champs, out of state drivers, drivers returning from injury.....). They should have a 20+ car field as this is the Little 500 tune-up race. Stay tuned for the entry list which will be released later tonight.

Only $12 admission!

Check www.pavementsprints.com for daily updates on this race. For the past week, they have been posting feature stores on the past races including Dave Darland's win in 2006.

His work is pretty much dragging him around by the tail, which I guess is not a bad problem to have right now. By that, I mean that it's good to have work, especially when you are your own boss.

:6:Agreed. Way too many folks either unemployed or underemployed right now. Thanks for the response.

Details for Sunday, April 14
Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 60s and lows in the mid 50s.

High of 68 degrees. So far in the month of April, this is the nicest day of the month forecasted.

A beautiful spring day for a sprint car race. I hope to see a lot of people in the stands!

With the Kokomo Grand Prix canceled I'll be going to Anderson beautiful weather and only 12 dollar admission its a great deal lets pack the grandstands

Re: Anderson this Sunday April 14th 100 lapper
 

Might we see a few drivers from Kokomo come over and race on the pavement instead on sunday? I bet they might if they can find a ride or get a car ready! That would make it even better. I'm going to try and go sunday I have never been to Anderson speedway it sounds like a great race in honor of a great man Glen Niebel! See ya all there!!
