IMO, from what i have seen they need to cut the banking on the lower half of the track thereby giving the guys a reason to go up stairs. When the track has full bank from top to bottom and is very wide like this there is no advantage to run the top when you can hook up and run the pole at a much shorter distance around.

We'll see Geoff. I wasn't too big a fan of the progressive banking as basically the bottom is as fast as the top when the tracks evenly prepared like it was Thurs.

However when it was like it was Weds. HOLY SH**T!!!!!! Best damn show ive seen in years.

If you are in the pits at one of the tracks that allow this please spend a little money at the track to help offset there kindness to the ones that put on the show.

The atmosphere was equal to Gas City (minus the great cone affair as it has been called :rolling) the gates were open all night and day (up until race time) so people could mingle and see the behind the scenes workings of a race team. A very laid back and friendly feeling.

We are truly lucky to have race fans that follow Non Wing Sprint Cars the way our fans do. We are also lucky to have promoters that really do care about the racer and the fan.

See you in a few hours at Gas City.

Jerry, It was great seeing you and yours and I gotta agree completely with your statements. IT was awesome him letting the ministry cook all day and night and had to come at a huge personal loss in which I bought a T shirt to offset and one of yours too

Congrats on Thursdays Heat win and respectable feature finish. Seems I aint the only Josh Spencer and Kyle Wissmiller fan

Guys Dave and Brenda do the food out of their own pocket. If you have a few extra bucks go slip them a few bills to help out. I'm sure it will score you a few points with the big guy up above too.:thumb

I know that Mr. Hoover and I apreciate it and donated.

I was mentioning that it has to be a huge hit on pit concession sales in which it was very nice for Rudisell to allow it, course im sure he don't want bad marks on his upstairs scorecard either

While at the Thursday event at the 'Burg, I saw quite a few IOWers. I spoke with several, including (real names) Danny, Jerry, Mike, Keith, Tim, Corey, Marv, and Josh & Jerry. I was particularly pleased to see Bill in attendance! While journeying through the pits 3 or 4 differant times, I had nice conversations with Kyle and Randy Wissmiller, Rollie Helmling, Shane Cottle, and Brian Hayden. I also checked out a likely member of a future generation of racers, Treyce Robert Darland. He was viewing the proceedings while firmly secured in his father's arms as BreAnna kept a close watch to ensure that Trenton wasn't going show their son how to get a wheel under anyone just yet.
