yes i hope your completely right and we need no r#%n date for any of the shows this week, but it would be a shame to see another race like the hoosier hundred and a few others get postponed with no rain date. thats the only point i have, i hate it when a track or sanction has a huge buildup for a race ,only to postpone it indefinitely

Thanks

Chris, you are not at your favorite track, Brownstown Sat. night?:confused:

Of course I'll be there! In my bright red fire suit and ATV. Nothing like watching the midgets from just inside the guardrail. As always, I hope no driver will need the safety crew's services. Might get real interesting with J.J. Yaley & Jason Leffler both returning to the track for the first time in several years.

Where I REALLY want to be: THAT

Where I might be: 'burg

Where I'll likely end up being: Home, doing stuff that I don't want to do.

If you only knew what DHK went thru to even get a schedule together for Terre Haute the racing conflicts would be understood. Mr. Allison chose to drag his fat feet in releasing the fair board from his contract so DHK could be signed on. Feburary/March is not the best time to get a schedule together when all the other tracks are already in the books. If you want to find the root cause for the schedule conflicts, thank Mr. Allison for the Action Track's part in it.

I hope not either. I am always between the infield fence and the guardrail also. Usually midway through turns 1 and 2.

one more little item to sway some fans might be that it will be a HARF event and if you are a HARF member you get a $3 discount at the box office, i know $3 isn't huge, but THAT gave us discounts at every event this year and we really appreciate it.
