Who's going to Salem this weekend for Must See?

team3521 · 5/6/10, 10:18 PM

Just curious how many IOW guys are planning on making the trip to Salem this weekend for the inaugural run for Must See Racing.

Jim Hanks has a lot of time, effort and money sunk into this. I wish him success!

Going to be a hellava show I think. A lot of great drivers going to be there with the wings on their cars.

I'm going to Salem. Even though I'm working, it's not really work because I too think it will be a helluva show.

Jim has invested a lot of sweat and time and money into making sprint car racing stronger and I hope the event (and the season) is a great success.

I would go, but the Hut Hundred is at TSS. By the way, aren't there about two dozen "special" races running in Indiana Saturday night?

What's the car count look like? I was very curious to see if it would be good.I would also like to see us fans take some steps for the salem race later in the season.Lets put up some cash if someone can win both the wing and non wing portions.Just an idea I know how those have been going lately on here..

I was definitely planning to attend to support my main man, Hurryin' Hank Lower and also to watch all the other great drivers in this series. However, just this past week my wife and I drove over 1600 miles for work, so the idea of driving another 500 mile 'round trip was a bit daunting.

I talked to Hank tonight on the phone -- I didn't ask him about car count, but I'm pretty sure there will be 27 - 30 cars there. Everyone involved with Jim Hank's MUST-SEE series, as well as the H.O.S.S. series teams, are very excited about this summer's races.

It's gonna be GREAT! James

Eleven cars were on hand for today's practice session at Salem. Among those in attendance was Michigan's Jason Blonde, who was caught on stop watches just a tick off Kevin Feeney's four-year-old track record of 14.377-seconds.

Remember this was just a practice on a Friday afternoon. That's just one car less than a certain sanctioning body had at Salem for a Saturday night race last year. Looking for 25 to 30 cars on Saturday.

31 cars are in attendance. That is a very good turn out for the very 1st race. Congratulations Jim!

I hope the stands are packed!!!
