What is your guess at car count for sprint cars at Plymouth?

Re: Car Count
 
Seeing as there is at least 3 or more tracks running sprints on Saturday already They may get 15 or less

They will get more than we expect just so people can check out the new track. IMO

Re: Car Count
 
I asked the question in another post as to where they would be getting their car count from? Five other tracks in the region run traditional sprint cars on Saturday nights.

I think this particular Saturday, weather will play into it. If the weather is good and all of the track race, Plymouth will suffer in my opinion. If perhaps someone gets rained out, not so much. If all of the other tracks run, I will predict Plymouth will have 10 sprints or less and here is why.

Paragon is closed this week so maybe they will pick up some from there. The Paragon guys as a whole don't travel much so if they happen to go, Lincoln Park & Clay County are much closer. Both are running a regular show this week.

Waynesfield has the Jack Hewitt Classic and Lawrenceburg is running the BOSS show both with enhanced purses.

Add in USAC midgets at the Belleville Nationals and you remove some other drivers that normally run sprint cars from the mix.

A difficult task to try and run traditional sprints at a new track on a Saturday night in Indiana. Good luck and hope you can pull it off.

My guess is they wont have the lowest car count.

Wow. You are correct. I completely forgot about the MSCS running at Tri State. That could make it even more interesting for sure.

I know that some drivers have contacted the people at the track and said that they will run at Plymouth cause Kokomo is off Sunday. Plus the other tracks running is a pretty good haul for them. There is also a couple of cars that run Butler that is taking off the wing and trying out the new track. I was glad to see Mr Kennedy the owner, up the start money to $200.

tntbusco 8/1/13 3:54 PM

Maybe 20 cars?
I wonder if this became more of a regular occurrence if any old Warsaw guys would get back in to it?

Many of the warsaw guys have retired or gone to pavement. Many of the families at peru have warsaw connections. I know of 1 new car in warsaw, 1in bourbon both with warsaw connections. I even knew a guy named Spencer hanging out there. I heard a lot of talk last fall then the schedule said 360 winged. Much discussion disappeared. I think several cars would appear if they had a place to run.

Your not that old :5:
We were thinking about going but $30 pit pass and $18 general has us rethinking our weekend plans, I understand it is there race track and they can charge whatever they think is fair but we kinda stay away from the higher pit passes. I know five dollars is not much to some but we made a deal to stop going to regular shows when they hit $30. Not trying to step on anyones toes just saying what I think, getting closer to the boating stage of our lives everyday.

Hope you guys pack the place.

why does racing start so early in Indiana/ when I was a kid growing up in n. e. oh. our local asphalt track started at 8:30/ while the Indiana dirt tracks (which should start later, to save on the track conditions) all seem to start around 7?

Back then there were fewer classes per night.
The state used to be behind ohio on time which helped dirt tracks.
Many tracks now have curfews.
