As anyone check the THAT schedule for The MSCS show.

One class and there dose not to be room for too much down time.

Featrue to start at 8:45 PM. Anybody want to bet the USAC feature will start at 8:45PM at Brownstown.

As was stated before, one class, pit access. Three classes little or no pit access.
Dyno, if you were a promoter, you wouldnt make any money.

I repeat...the crates will have maybe 10 cars there, with Twin Cities also running Crates on the same evening. There WILL be a Time Limit on the Crates.

Now im regretting even posting this in the first place.

That right there is the key....time limit. Don't make me sit through races I don't care about IF sprint cars are ready to go. If the sprint cars still need downtime, then fine. I hate when you go to a local track and have to sit through a support class that takes forever because of yellows. They have the right to race...they paid their money. Just don't keep them out there forever if it's a wreck-fest. I prefer one class...two at the most if you are going to have them. More than two and it's too much IMO. Whatever the headliner is should be up the moment they are ready to run. If there's a time limit, then I'm fine with it.

Sprint car people complaining about Cautions in OTHER classes, i've seen it all now!!!! Someone told me that SOME Sprint car fans were elitists, I didn't think that was true, but i'm beginning to believe them....I read in another thread where one of the sprint car folks was saying "let all the junk race on another night", I thought we were all RACING people, I can't stand watching the crates, but if they were the support for a class I wanted to see, I certainly wouldn't let them keep me from going...I'm not a big fan of 6-7 support classes, but 2 support classes w/time limites for the USAC show should NOT be a big deal and shouldn't add much time at all to the event. If you don't like the "stock" cars, use that time to head to the pi$$er or the concession stand!!!! Lord knows you need extra time to hit the pi$$er at B'town, it's a hike(no offense Chris)!!!!

Guys, go support Brownstown on this race, if you don't, guess what, they won't have them again and if sprint's are a class you like, it's always great to have another place to see them run isn't it??


the dirty one!!!

Figured i would give everyone the heads up before you got to the track and said "where the hell did they come from"
they will only get about 15-18 feature only 15 laps

Chris, is this the same series that was the Stormpay.com touring series last year? If David Earl Gentry was coming to run, even the most jaded sprint car fan would enjoy watching him race, that boy is exciting. They don't call him Lewisburg Lightning for nothing.

dirtball, your post made me laugh. My buddy likes mods / lates, & he gives me hell every time a red flag is thrown because they have to push the field off again in a sprint car race, or when they "farm" the track, holding up the racing, he says they NEVER do that at just a stock car race, & you know what...HE'S RIGHT!!! I think most sprint car fans find it hard to accept that there are LOTS more fendered fans around than open wheel...myself included at times.
For those that aren't going based solely on Crates running...man I wish I had that option here in Missouri. Maybe USAC needs to become a truly NATIONAL series as they claim, & not run the bulk of their schedule in a 1 - 2 state area. I know many that would walk through fire to see non-wing racing here!!

Yeah wait a minute, we are running three classes, one of which might have 10-14 cars, but yet people are complaining, and then the people complaining are going to Winchester...which is running FOUR classes...

Looks like people are just trying to FIND something to complain about.
