don't know who you think I am, but not somebodysman, I am who I am, sorry guys didn't make it to the Tulsa shootout but, did get to the chilli bowl great race. see that all has the race dates up. will be back in time to see some good Indiana racing. April maybe alittle early for me, so will see you all in May; sure enjoying the weather in Yuma Az sure is better then what my home state of the Upper Michigan is getting and the rest of the mid and east states. Sorry no one believes I am a real person, guess I will have to show up and show every one I am for real and not a made up person or name.

If you want to run for $1200 purse thats fine ,that is what Bloomington and Paragon offered. I have only stated FACTS and did not run down anybody.
Sorry I got you in trouble again Harry,wish would of came around last year would really like to know who you are.The Pauley's won't be traveling and working with AMSA this year,we just can't afford to.I am going to miss this and the people.Jerry and Mert are part of our family and I talk to them most days.
We have been in racing one way or another for 30 plus years and I hope I survive the summer without it.
So here's to warm days ,cool nights and no rain outs.

I'm just thankful we have great people like the Moler family who have supported mini-sprint racing ever since they opened, and the Schrader family who have supported us since their take over and have paid better than anyone in the area.

Two best mini-sprint tracks in the country.

Agree
Never been to Paragon But been to Bloomington and payout was fine both times.
Wonder why Tracks are not wanting to schedule races

My thoughts, why the big name tracks like lawrenceburg, kc, Bloomington, Kokomo ect(most of those i been to an like racing at). i know those places are good for are sport an most have good racing for the minis but i think alot of you are forgetting the history of minis and where they came from. Whats wrong with the little fair tracks,or the smaller no name tracks granted they might not pay as much but who runs a mini an plans on getting rich off of it? Minis came from the little fair and no named tracks an should not forget that keep the big tracks but bring on the small ones to.

Some times you're a "mam" sometimes you're "man" frankly my dear I
don't give a damned. We should all use our ip adddress so as not to get confused. I'm told when you get real old you get confused about things. We do what we think is best for us. Mason is watching out for Mason, JT is watching out JT, The old folkes are watching out for the old folks whoever they are and I'M sure watching out for ME. I do not need a history lessson on mini-sprints I've lived it. We have raced from 16th street speedway with 10000 fans in the stands to Waynesfield when it was a go kart track, met some real nice people along the way and a few not so nice people. We race where we think we will have a good time. Because the money is sure not there. The only difference between us and a top notch USAC team is we don't loose as much money doing it, were both having fun and trying to out do the other guy "JUST TRYING TO BE FASTER THAN YOU"
We went to the shootout and We were met with "folded arms". I did kind of like watching people walk by "eyes ahead" making sure not to make eye contact with me. That really is not the way to go racing. We are a pretty small number maybe 60 cars total running in the mid west. We do need to work on people skills. If I beat you it wont be because I used a rule aganist you I'm just going to beat you... WE need to trim some of these rules down and add some weight to the cars. We don't have enough cars for a "light" and "heavy" class so above all else we need to stop acting like a bunch of QM nuts. Bill May's "MMSA" has trimed rules a little bit. BUT Weight is where It's at. It take a real driver to carry 100 extra pounds and run up front. If a zx12 boat ancor has to weigh 1050 lbs to race lets just make 1050 the minimum weight. Titanium weight drivers might then learn a thing or two about racing from the grown up drivers out there and I would not have to speend so much money on titanium bolts and or a chassis made out of .049 tubeing. It aint fuel, it aint motor, it aint dyno time it aint even chassis or tires it's just weight and making it fair for every one. I've been preaching this for 20 years now and have made a little progress from 750 lbs to 900 but that is still off a little. The rights and lefts need to get together and do what is right for the "sport" . Give everybody a chance to win.

ps. If you see me at the race track stop by and say hi I won't bight

Amen!!! I don't mind losing to a guy with a better setup, a better driver, or even a bigger motor. i just don't think its fair when he's winning because he weighs 95lbs soaking wet. A guy that's 6 ft tall and 200 lbs shouldnt be at an unfair advantage right off the bat just because he's a bigger guy.

Dad, no disrespect intended....we were at Tulsa and I tried to talk with just about every mini-sprint team I saw. Unfortunately I don't know who you are. Hopefully we'll meet at a track this race season.
