I'll be planning to check out this show...I'm not sure very many guys knew this race was on the schedule (I, for one, just found out about it recently!), so I'm sure more will show interest in it as they are made aware. I'll definitely be pressuring a lot of guys to go! haha

I would say even the guys who are hesitant to run Haubstadt because of the Sunday Winchester race might be willing to head over for a Friday night show with this kind of pay to win. May I ask what the rest of the purse looks like?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

This night has been on our sched. all year.It's an annual event that has traditionaly been a winged event.6g to win 500 to start,21g purse.Qualify for heats.Top 2 qualifiers who do not advance out of their heat will use qualifing spot for the A.No entree fee's.40 laps of good raci'n with(GOD FORBID)no eff'n r---.:rolleyes:
Please anyone who is interested..email standard info to our website:checkered:

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Sounds like it will be a great race, I wonder if top MSCS drivers like Kyle Cummins and Hud Cone will show up to get a run in before Haubstadt.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

I would hope so,my buddy Hud is batting a thousand for the year thus far:respect:

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Glad to see the Shaheen's race still on for this year after all of the weather related problems you have dealt with this year.Will be over to support the show and just one thing I may ask soak the track would like to have it wet and tacky all night long.If this is done and a good turnout of cars and drivers are there any chance of going all out next year and call it Shaheen's super weekend and run on friday and saturday night like they used to at Little Springfield Speedway non wings of course.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

The rain here has been unreal.I think the water bill at the house has been more than the water bill at the track this year:O:.I hope this annual event will lead to bigger shows involving the non wing cars in the future.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

:thumbHopefully ma' nature will cooperate. Not looking so good for this weekends midget show. (bummer). Can't wait for the Shaheens. Should be a great show, hopefully 30- 40 cars and a packed grandstand. Count us in. (assuming we don't get tore up next weekend)

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

You can't miss the biggest one of the year!! I enjoy talking to your dad before everyone else gets there!! So don't get tore up.

Mother Nature needs to back off of us a little.. This is getting old.:headbang

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Bill,
My dad and I will be there too....unique thing, we both raced at Shaheen's. Not many of us left. Randy Bateman did and I'm sure he will be there. Ron Standridge of course. Maybe somebody could motivate Jim Moughan to run topless and how cool it would be to see Donnie Beechler come out and run. Manny Rockhold is another.

Steve Thomas

Those Shaheen Super Weekends were exactly that....Super!
My first one, probably '74 or '75 was the first time I'd seen this guy named Wolfgang. He was in the Van Patten Mobile Homes car with duct tape, baling wire and about 7 different colors everywhere.....and that was just Wolfies glasses!:O:
Seems like there were 60-70 cars on both nights....fabulous stuff.

I'm really looking forward to this show too. Wanna watch Hess attempt to impersonate a Sprint Car driver again:rolling

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

1.7 inches this morning.Did you guys get more than that??

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Ron really impressed me (the night he ran here)started in the back and ended up 3rd.Now that you found the BAR ,come down and see us after the races:D

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

We have received quite a few emails from drivers. Please send your registration info,, driver, car# etc. (sponsor info is welcome too!!) by email to: morgancospeedway@msn.com

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Sprint Car entry list you care to post:idea:

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Any chance you will share any of the e-mails or entries you have recieved with us ?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Keep the emails and replies coming. The fans are curious to see who is coming out to race. Right now the main added interest seems to be coming from the Indiana Area. Locals like Standridge, Ulrisch, Branson, Wissmiller, Thomas are racing.
Will keep updates as we get them. Need to get FANS IN THE STANDS!!! This time of the year is hard with home football games going on in Jacksonville.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Bttt...........Please keep the emails coming with drivers info on who is planning on coming. Any questions please email or give us a call. Seats can be reserved with credit card by calling 217-370-1957 or email.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Bill, it would be nice if you would pass the information from your phone calls from drivers and e-mails from drivers on to we fans. So far all you have listed are the regular weekly racers. I know everyone that calls or e-mails won't end up racing there, and I will come no matter who is going to be there. If I have a few names to at least spread around I may be able to talk more fans into coming. I didn't know that you had reserved seats until I read a previous post ?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Who is on the entry list so far? What drivers are going from Indiana?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

What time is Jacksonville on, same as Evansville or Terre Haute:help:

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

I did not realize we had reserved seating either until we got asked about it:doh:Since then we have been saving seats for those who are paying in advanced.The only drivers who I have talked with,that say they are coming are Tracey Hines,Brady Short,Randy Bateman,Chris Windom,Terry Babb,Joey Moughan,Ron Standridge,Chad Branson,I could rattle off a bunch more that is being told to me from other sources,(magazines,photograghers,ect.)but I don't count on rumers,unless I'm told personally.I have gotten emails from some saying we will be racing at you're track,but they are not saying who they areLOL.Wanting to know track size,ect.So please take it for what it's worth:checkered:

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Which one BB? TH or EV. See you there?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

ALL THE ABOVE :applaud:

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Any Buffets along the way?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Jacksonville is Central Time, so I guess that would be Evansville time.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

:thumb Thanks, thats what I thought.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

never know -- could be ---

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Thanks Bill for responding to the drivers that have called....I will call tomorrow to check on the reserved seating. Keep us informed on any new calls you get....See you Friday

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

The Super Weekend was a neat race to run. I did have the privilege as a car owner to win the last Super Weekend ran in 1986 with Steve Butler as the driver.
It payed $2500 to win, both nights and that was a good pay day back then. I payed $50 for a RR (McCreary) and under $1.00 a galon for fule and pulled the car on a open trailor. I donated the Saturday night trophy to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame several yrs. ago when Steve was inducted to the hall of fame. Jeff Stoops still has the Friday night trophy. They were both idenical in looks. I still have the winner circle picture with Joe Sheheen in it.

Glad to see your setup on payoff. 6000 to win and 500 to start is what has been needed at the big races. MSCS pays 10000 to win their big shows, but the average racer has got the shaft, for they run for the minimum start money for more laps. At least I give you credit for figuring this out and I wish much success.
Racers should support this race.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

$500 to start and $6000 to win, WOW! how non-wing racing should always payoff......should be a great race!

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

I will be there, hope to watch some great racing, is coolers allowed?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

Am I mistaken, or did you used to be associated with the MSCS?

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

We don't search for coolers in the pits but there is no alcohol allowed in the pits. No coolers are allowed in the grandstands. We have a nice bar with a live feed of the races going on. The bar, concession, popcorn stand and bathrooms are all in the covered main grandstand. There is a small concession stand in the pits.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

My first visit to this track was last friday.Friendly people ,tacky track and good food.Will be back again this friday.Hope see the place full.

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

:thumb I was talking to a lot of the Sprint drivers like Hud Cone and Memmer at Eldora, sounds like most of them are coming over. Should be a great turn out. I can't wait.....

Re: $6000 to Win Non Winged Sprints!!
 

I just hope it doesn't rain. Even if this track doesn't have a single rain out for the next five years, Mother Nature will still owe them a favor after what they've gone through this season.:headbang

As for the track, I've only been up there a few times this season, so I don't know if they're really doing anything differently in terms of track prep, but it seems like the track has stayed tackier this season.

And you're right about the food. The pork tenderloin is absolutely awesome.:applaud:
