I think you mean Ricky Williams......

Congrats to Weir for the win and another strong outing for Kyle.

But why was this only a 25 lapper instead of the advertised 30 laps. I paid for 30.......do I get a 20 percent discount in 2 weeks?

And as for the track conditions, dont blame the rain..........King Tommy was dumping water on the track beforehand!

By the way it did not rain at Kokomo as you posted. Hope every one had fun where ever they went. I went to Kokomo saw an excellent race. Hope you did too. I like Haubstadt and the staff, but sometimes all the "Haubstadt homers", who only go there and do not ever venture off there porch chase me away. Don't quit your job to become a weather man. Just out of curiosity Mr. Lynch how does one know which race was better if he only attends one?

$18 for a regular show you could have seen anywhere for $12. Modifieds put on the best show by far.

Ballou was almost worth the price though. Hated to see him tear up.

Track was VERY rough in the middle of entry on 1 and 3. Quite a few cars bounced through it to make the high line work for them. Ballou tried it one lap and nearly stopped the car and cut down in front of someone (dont remember who) and broke the driver side wheel. Scotty Weir had it figured out on the bottom and with the cushion building up about 10-15ft from the bottom of the track it was hard to get around him.

Track was pretty good if you think about how much rain the area had. Just amazed that the race was on. Good job to the track crew. If you are complaining that he worked it you must not of been at the same track I was. There was easily about a 10-12" rut about 3 feet wide going into 3. That just makes it dangerous to race and tears up the equipment.

For those that didnt stay for the modifieds, you missed a pretty good show too. First time its been like that for me but it was worth it to stay. Iguess they like a little bit more of a rough track.


Why does everyone always complain about something?? I guess its human nature. Just be glad that the show was on and you saw some racing.

Wha exactly is his comfort zone? I have seen him race from PA to California, and almost everywhere in between. Nottrying to start anything, I just don't understand what you meant.
