Paragon for Indiana Sprint Week

These folks have done an amazing job with this great Hoosier race track. Whatever night they get, I will have my ass in a seat. Well done!

Re: Phoenix/Milwaukee Silver Crown???

Maybe not many of us left who attended the Silver Crown race at Milwaukee back in the late 80's. One of the best races I have seen in nearly 60 years following that series.

Re: Sun Prairie Fireman's Nats: 40 Lapper!

Couldn't make it for the trip up north this year. As a lifelong Hoosier, hate to admit that when it comes to midget race tracks and football stadiums my cheesehead brothers know what they are doing.

Re: Ballou out!

I stood up and cheered both Robert and Chase at the Action Track a few weeks back. Been going to races for nearly 60 years and that one was right up near the top. Thank you and get well soon.

Re: All Stars Bloomington

Alot of talk in regards to change in configuration. Awfully hard to tell any difference if there is nothing worked in outside.

Re: Salem Silver Crown

I couldn't agree more. Silver Crown ran Milwaukee a couple years back in the late '80s. Both times produced excellent racing. Wouldn't hurt Indycar to add Silver Crown to their Saturday program...

Re: Terre Haute Sound System Go Fund Me.

Is there any other sport that uses broadcast announcers for events? How would it affect the fan experience if NFL games used the CBS or Fox feed at stadiums. I enjoy the events on Floracing and have...

Re: Terre Haute Sound System Go Fund Me.

I can hear Pat on the PA. Can't hear Brian though. Never had any trouble hearing Bill Donnella. Not even sure he needed a PA system.

Surprising that Bobby Santos is not on the entry list.

Re: Terre Haute

Anyone in attendance tonight not enjoying that feature, might be time to find a new sport.

Re: Terre Haute

Terre Haute was under a flood advisory ending this morning at 9:00. Not sure how much rain they actually got though.

Re: Grant

I hope he runs also. That was a rough ride. Sure bet that he hurts in other places as well. Wish him nothing but the best in his recovery, racing or not.

Tracy Hines

I was amazed being a Silver Crown fan all my life, how little I knew about running a 100 lapper at IRP. Seriously, some of the best commentary I have heard. He was a great race driver, maybe even...

Re: Rich Vogler

We saw Rich sweep a twin 50 midget double header at Salem in 1977. For the next 13 years, my dad and I chased him to bullrings, superspeedways and everything in between all across the country. Dad...

Re: Carson Garrett 👏

Absolutely, and great to see the Epperson Painting number 2 back in the winners circle as well. Takes me back to when Eric Gordon was a youngster.

Re: IRP results?

Good racing at IRP with the midgets. This package fits much better than what we have seen with USAC the past several years. Maybe not a great idea putting old guys out there. I have said before...

Re: Why Charge for Kids? You're losing a fortune!

I recently found an old ticket to Midget Races at Paragon dated 1968. Price 50 cents for a child.

Re: Turn four wall at Paragon??

A great night of racing for sure. Paragon has never been better. It would sure be cool to see an Indiana Sprint Week show there next year.

Re: Turn four wall at Paragon??

Red Bledsoe hit that wall back in the early 80's and sustained some serious injuries. He recovered and raced again, but after that they went to the tractor tires. Better than the concrete that Red...

What are they running as a support class? Sprint cars or tank slappers?

Re: Silver Crown

Some of our greatest race tracks rely solely on Silver Crown for an open wheel presence. Springfield, DuQuoin, Salem, Winchester to name a few. Sprints and midgets are done on these tracks. As...
