Any chance of opening the bathroom in the parking lot

Re: 2017 No Way Out 40
 

The main bathrooms behind grandstands near barns will definitely be open. As far as the newer bathrooms out in the parking lot, unfortunately we have no say on if those get opened or not. That is up to the fairboard on big events such as this. We can certainly suggest it.

YES!

I always back in up there to tailgate. When I was there for the Jackson 100 the county fair folks finally came out halfway through the day and opened them up.

Much easier.

Yes, lots of us old guys have weak bladders!

Hoping for the best for the NO WAY OUT 40. According to the LOLMS webpage and Don O'Neal's webpage, the late model ICEBREAKER scheduled for this weekend at Brownstown has been postponed due to weather.

Always a great race, just a little prayer to Mother Nature.

No Way Out 40 week is here!

With an 80% chance of rain Saturday, and chance of rain Sunday, let's have the NWO 40 on Friday, mainly sunny and 67!!

What do you say Brownstown Speedway? Let's race Friday!!!!

Hopefully that you guys will think about running the no way out 40 on friday. I think that you will get a good back gate number and I think that if you push the starting time back a hour you will still get a great front gate. Alot of hungry racing fans in the area to see some great non wing racing. Thanks.

Re: 2017 No Way Out 40
 

Please run this race on Friday. Last chance to have no competition for the race teams and fans. It would be a shame to lose another race here.

I'm sure that it's hard to find employees to make something like this to happen on short notice. Just say no concessions stands will be open and that we will have someone to sell you a ticket and you would be amazed by how many racing teams and racing fans might show up. Thinking out loud. Thanks.

Re: 2017 No Way Out 40
 

In a perfect world. I'd say move the show to Friday night if this forecast doesn't change by tomorrow. Push the start back an hour or so to give people a chance to get off work and time to get to the track. If you're concerned about running late can always drop one of the two support classes. Still think there were be a great turnout since a lot of people are anxious to go racing, especially since the weather is suppose to be great on Friday.

That said, as mentioned above, It may be hard to get employees to the track and everything ready, not just concessions or preparing and working the track but also you need push truck + drivers, medical/fire crews, etc. All on a couple days notice. Plus, some drivers may not be able to make it on a Friday afternoon/evening.

I'm just hoping because I'm selfish and want to see some racing.

With all due respect. You don't dare do something like that. You'll have people showing up saturday to locked gates saying WTH?

You could have a raindate of April 8th and bump the price if needed on a already existing show. While it would affect a few drivers who do both sprints and midgets. In no way is this in Kokomo's market.

Yeah no one has internet so we wouldn't know it had been to Friday till we get our copy of speed sport news next Thursday and atomic speedway came out Monday and said because of weather on Saturday they were gonna run Friday they could do it and I believe they would have a good crowd too

All the die hards would know of the change of days, but...there just may be a few who do not live and breathe this insanity. Lots of ways to loose potential new or casual fans, tell the guy that shows up Sat. that you allran it Friday, he is Done. Take a step back, running Friday is not a valid option. Any March show is a roll of the dice, get a grip guys, few more weeks were racing steady.

Atomic did this very thing this week.

The way it looks right now they would be showing up to locked gates on Saturday anyways, in torrential downpours.

Like I said, if a track could work out the logistics and was willing to take a shot at it, I'd support the race.

Just schedule the race for multiple days and then pick the best one the week of the race. Seems like a good idea this time of year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE #2 - Brownstown Speedway - Brownstown, IN - Wednesday, 22, 2017

Track promoter Jim Price and co-race promoter Mason Fleetwood have been in close contact this week watching the weather predictions for this Saturday's No Way Out 40. As of today it looks as if the weather may hold out until after midnight in our area. Our plan as of now is the 40 Lap NO WAY OUT feature paying $7,500 to win will roll onto the track by 9:00pm eastern daylight savings time!!!! Make your plans now to be strapped into your seat and ready to watch an action packed night of open wheel racing on the famed quarter mile.

We have had several questions about the possibility of moving this race to Friday. To clear that up at this time, while we do understand the weather looks more favorable then, the answer is there is no possible way to make this happen on such short notice. Brownstown Speedway is planning to do their best to get this show in for both drivers and fans on Saturday.

Thank you and see everyone there!

Don't forget about the new restrooms

They just released statement on FB says they plan on having feature on track Saturday night by 9pm

Weather looks bad

Why don't you wait until Saturday morning to decide what the weather looks like. It's changed a lot over the last week and I'm sure it will between now and then. They've said they are racing. Plan on showing up till they tell you not to

We are planning to head that way until tell tell us to stay home. Thanks.

I plan to be there. Everything's packed and ready to be tossed in the truck.

If worse comes to worse and it rains I still got to make it to the track and have a few beers with friends.

Better than sitting at home.
