Thanks Dave. You are always a class act. The Lawrenceburg Speedway is a classy facility and is always a great place to visit. By the way Dave, Dyno Don even called the people of Anderson, IN. a bunch of "Rubes" because there was an intermission at a Sunday afternoon race at Anderson Speedway. Don't take any offense; just consider the source. Guido Rueben

We had a great time on Saturday (even though our Mini-Sprint was in the trailer after hot-laps with a motor problem).
The USAC Midgets put on a great show. The racing was fabulous. I was really impressed with the way those guys handle their cars.
The program did end late but any experienced race fan would know that when you have three classes and that many cars the racing is going the end late.
Heck, it was Saturday night and the beer was $2.50 a bottle! Even with a broken race car we managed to enjoy ourselves......and anyone that's ever watched the action from the stands when you are supposed to be on the track would know that ain't easy!
Oh Well.....I am off to FOZ to see about getting a motor repaired. We will be back at the 'Burg on Labor Day. Where the heck did the summer go?

For Dyno Don,
Went to Kokomo last night and they had more than 2 classes. Even took time to mess with the track with the tractor and roller a few times. I walked out of the grandstands when they took Stanbroughs car off on the hook, got in my car at 11:52 (I by the way live in Dearborn Co.) I walked in my house at 2:35 this AM. I guess I should be bitchin because the race wasn't over earlier and I got home late. But instead I would like to say WOW! that was some good racing and I am sad to know that school is starting and I can't make that trip to Kokomo anymore on Sunday nights until next year. Kokomo thanks for a great night of racing and a great porkchop sandwich. Bob Bressert :applaud:

Shane,
I hate to admit this but Sat I went to Florence and watch the tin tops run the North South 100 with my brother in law. Was a pretty good show, by the way, I am going to school right now. Midgets put on a very good show last night at Kokomo. later Bob

I thought it was a great night. Track did not get dusty and someone finally figured out how to run up next to the wall --- the fast way around. Wonder if Jeff Bland Jr., will try that line next week after being shown it by one of the rim riding masters.
I left after the sprint feature and was stunned to find it was 1 a.m. when I was climbing in the car. But then, I didn't look at a clock all night either. I just enjoyed the races.

I am convinced that according to Dyno Don you HAVE to be a Sprint or Midget driver to be a race car driver. If you drive a Mod, Super Stock, Late Model, Mini Sprint or anything else...you are lower than scum.
And I didnt see it being mandatory in the rules and bylaws of Indiana Midget Week that you HAD to have just two classes.

TWO THINGS TO THINK ABOUT 1. Host the midgets and sprint cars together(usac
2. get a date now for next year
You have a great opportunity to showcase your track and it is great !!!!
Start now getting a sponsor and make a big weekend out of it..
Raise the purse and your car count will raise to off set it and the stands will fill up
you can have your NATIONALS right there in Lawerenceburg you have the track
the hotels etc. get some of that lottery money from the tourism board there
and start a big event......
there is Knoxville, Belleville, Chilibowl and many more bring a big one to southern
Indiana
keep up the good work!!!!
