Welcome, Mr. Trombonist.  We can use more like you. |
Thanks DB (great initials btw). I wish I lived a little closer to Indiana and all that good non wing racing, but glad Waynesfield gives me a little piece of Indiana on Saturday nights.

I remember the first year they moved to the 1/4 mile from the go kart track. Mini Sprints were the headliner and I believe it may have even been an afternoon race as due to the lack of lighting. All they had for seating was the pit grandstands. Nothing in the spectator area except piles of pea gravel. We stood and watched from one such pile. Aaron Fry was there with three other non wing sprints putting on some demonstration laps (laying the foundation for the BOSS Series, no doubt).
It's important to remember that just 10 years ago this place was a pay to play go kart track. This past weekend they held an event with the best non wing Sprint car drivers in the country and this season they also had a Speedweek show. We're not talking about a place with 50 plus years of racing history. They will improve because they want to improve. They are trying to figure out how to transition from a pay to play facility into a spectator sports venue. They'll get it.
