Let's make this clear, this isn't a Hartford vs Plymouth deal at all. It is unfortunate that Hartford's only Saturday night race happens to be this Saturday. We had a rainout and we didn't want to postpone the makeup date too long. We had a great car count and we wanted to race on our little track. We have future events planned so Aug 11 seemed the best opportunity to get drivers back to challenge on the Bull Ring.
Ed Kennedy appreciated the long tow most MTS Sprints made as well as mods and 600 mini's showing tremendous support, so he increased the purse for all classes. That is a class act.
Koolaid 89, contrary to your continual Monday morning track ownership quarterbacking, which is nothing new from you, there are lots of sprint cars in the tri-state area and as all the drivers proved last night, there is support for Plymouth. Joe Irwin at MTS supported our decision for Aug 11 (I should know I was standing next to him when asked).
The track staff and ownership at Plymouth support Hartford Speedway and hope it has a successful USAC show. The Hartford folks are great people and the drivers they attract are great competitors.
We hope to see drivers, crews, and of course the awesome dirt race fans make the trip back to the Bull Ring.
