Brownstown Sprint Car Opinions

Charles Nungester · 10/13/08, 6:39 PM

Im not against sprint car racing at Brownstown, In fact Im for some shows. I think running saturday nights is becoming a issue to many tracks in car count numbers with many other tracks trying them out on sat nights.

Id really like to see you work with other tracks setting up big show weekends and maybe taking a off night like a thursday. Not necessaraly big show per sey but 3-5 grand 250-300 to start type shows. It was pretty clear this year that except for some $$$ teams were racing closest to home.

The promoter is the one asking about the interest, he is definately interested in Sprints. He has had many inquiries about racing them next year. Hopefully it works.

As far as the IRL thing goes, ill find out sometime during the offseason. Although it would kill me to leave the dirt.

I would rather come there than Paragon or Putnamville. I am not gonna mud my car up working the track in at Putnamville and just don't really like Paragon black slick huggy pole format.

Don't care if you run any MSCS or USUC races, just pay $100 to unload and race, qualifications would be great and no DAM Tire rule! I bet you would get alot more cars if you ran this kind of format.

Would love to give more input if needed.....Lets go Racin!!!

I really don't think another sprint car track in Indiana is going to help the sport. The economy is on the verge of collapse, and we want to thin the car counts even more??????

I agree.

If they are special shows the dont most promoters usally work together so as not to step on each others tracks to much.

I am just asking a question here ok.

I dont think youll see us step on anyones toes

When you run the Sprint cars, I would really like for you to have the American Mini Sprints or the:checkered: Midwest Mini Sprint Series run with them as their support class. Very Quick cars with the wing, and have electric starters that make them self sufficient cars. I think they would put on a good show.

Sprintweek would be fine, especially if Brownstown would be cool with a midweek date. A few shows sprinkled in on the right dates would go over really well, I'd imagine. Really, it's gonna be a lot easier on equipment than Brownstown, so there's an opening for that kind of race track to book a few shows...
