That time of the year again

okienonwingfan · 8/6/09, 1:35 PM

The sprint bandit tour is scheduled for the week of the 16th. There are people already asking for an approx. car count. So I come over to the experts on the board. What are you guys thinking? I am thinking 25 to 30 and that does include local guys that do not run non=wing cars maybe expect for Bacon.

I am by no means an expert, and several people will agree with this,but I was wondering the same thing, also how many if any racers from around here will make the trip? Can't wait to go

According to Creek Co. schedule and my son, who lives in Sapulpa, it's still a go with SMRS midgets. we're going out there next weekend, I'll find out more then. Thanks.

Jeff, I appreciate the info,I was looking at another site and it didn't include Creek Co Speedway. I have e-mailed Sprint Bandits and Lonnie Wheatly, but no response as of yet.

What kind of purse are they paying?? Is there a point fund??? I have also sent an email with no response...The website is weak with no information. If they want cars to tow from Indiana to run this deal it would probably be a good idea to have some information available.

If I get ahold of Lonnie in the next couple of days I will have him post some info on this board.

I can tell you that the people down here love the racing that the non-wing cars put on. Alot of us look forward to this series every year. I can tell you that I have gone to at least one race each year the bandits have come here.

There is a track here in the okc metro area( Not SFS) that is trying to add a economy non-wing sprint class for next year. Rather it takes off or not is another story.

Talked to Lonnie

Creek is running
Purse is the same as it as been in the past
As far as he knows no point fund

USAC is running the 10K Dick Gaines Classic @ Lawrenceburg Speedway :2: Saturday 8/22 against the TnT finale...I'd have to imagine that will remove a few cars from that night at least.

If anyone has any questions I would give them a call and see what you can find out. I know this a big deal to the people around here and love to see you guys down here.
