USAC Sprints-Valley Speedway-Ballou Wins-Video
 

Valley Speedway hosted the USAC sprints Saturday night as the series makes a five day pass thru the Midwest, 31 cars showed up for the event.

Several of the competitors were regulars from the WAR sprint series, they were at a 225 pound weight disadvantage as well as running 360 motors compared to the 410 engines the USAC guy's run.

This made for some interesting racing as the USAC regulars had to work their way thru the pack in the heat races and a- main.

As they say the cream rose to the top as the USAC racers filled the to ten spots at the end of the race. I could tell you the result but why not watch the video and find out for yourself how the race went. Enjoy.

Great Video Job. Wow, Ballou is quite a rim rider. Very racey track. Many times saw cars running three wide.

Thanks for sharing! Lots of seating at that place, you don't often see seats all down the backstretch.

I was curious as I heard in the first heat there was a driver named Parkinson. Is he related to Ralph and Jr. and if so what is the relation to them.

Congratulations Robert!
Happy for you.
Hope I get to see the next win.
Maybe in Michigan next weekend?

Re: USAC Sprints-Valley Speedway-Ballou Wins-Video
 

Robert, I will be at the next three shows, Really looking forward to all three.
Without a doubt USAC races are the funnest sprint car races to watch, I could have shown some great racing for 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th
but Ballou and Stanbrough were really going after it up front.

Keep an eye out for the other three shows, I am looking forward to tonight and Monday and Tuesday, thanks for the nice comments.
