It's interesting that the purse, At least the Winners share is what the Knoxville Nationals was when Gaines won it.

Anyhow, come race with us. See ya Saturday!

Looking forward to it. The last two regular shows I attended and both times they were great races. Track was really good and wide.

I see that the BOSS race has been moved from Waynesfield Saturday, might get a few extra cars from that.

Our racing family will be in the house at the burg. Great racing event. Looking forward to the weekend. Saturday night at the burg and going to have a meet and greet Sunday for the mailman 60th birthday party. And headed out for Kokomo on Wednesday morning for some more great Kodak moments and life time memories. After Knoxville last weekend it just keeps coming. LOL. Have fun and enjoy all the great things that we all love. God bless America. Thanks.

Yay for Raceday! Come on down.

How many Sprints?

20

Very disappointing count for $3000.

Allstars and FAST combined at Waynesfield have 22 cars for $5000.

Parts shortage,tire shortage,some just can't get going

Does it always happen after sprint week, the car counts drop? Maybe some are getting ready for the SmackDown that basically starts Wednesday.

Lincoln park (Putnamville) has 32 sprints tonight MSCS show

Bilbee
Tmez
Abrahms
Kendall
Lewis
Top 5

Well, I wasn't actually there for the race but as part of a overal day of Racefans and the race as we had our BARC Luau at one of the shelters.

Racing was good. But Bilbee took control quickly and gapped the field. Tmez had started sixth and quickly got to third but took several laps to get second on what turned into a hexed lap 11 which had I think two yellows and two reds that took half the field Not all from crashes but a few pulled in or off. think we finished with nine.

Once the race resumed Tmez could catch Bilbee but not get around him. Bilbee then gapped him again but Tmez closed too within a slider on about lap twenty. A couple lap cars which Bilbee executed perfectly allowed the easy win in the final couple laps as Tmez couldn't pass at the same time as Bilbee.

Abrahams raced a clean race to get to third. Kendal actually made a couple passes late to get back up to fourth But was among the top four early.

Great night, Great food. Got a cloud cover at race time so sun in three and four wasn't a issue.

Seen you next race.

Now to watch some replays of Duquoin and other races on Flo until the eyes can't take anymore.

oops, Springfield I mean. Catching USAC CRA Live first on Flo

I dont care what anyone says. The Burg is bad fast and a fun place to race. There might be 30 cars somewhere else rolling through the slick. The Burg is on the wall and hammerdown!

Love the racing at The Burg, usually, but the 30 min break/reverse draw, plus the hornets 🐝 and only 18 cars starting the sprint feature made it a disappointing night for me.

Re: 8/21/2021 - Lawrenceburg Spdwy. - Gaines Memorial $3K to
 

Yes, compared to the last three or four reg shows there wasn't a lot of passing at the front. Sometimes I almost wish they'd run the mods last and pure stocks second. But a good night overall. cloud cover helped with comfort.

I say that about the running order because the pure stocks and hornets take off or scrape up the rubber. the damn mods aren't good on the slick. someone spinning every other lap.
