I would think jackslash.com would make one. They put out awesome videos. I'm not computer enough to link you or anything but I'm sure someone on here can help you more. Nevertheless I'm sure there will be one.

Due to unfortunate issues (which ain't none of yer beeznus ), I attended only the LPS show. I have only two complaints: I wish I had been able to get to them all, and I sure wish the 2e's engine had not "laid down" on Shane.
Here is my question to the dust gripers: did you not notice that the grass along the sides of the roads you used to get to the ISW race tracks was brown, not green? We are in the midst of a wicked drought, ya know!

Heck Steve, I was only able to make it to one show myself, Haubstadt. Now even though there are those on here that will tell you it's the most incredibly prepared track in the country, she was a tad dusty (gritty) on Saturday as well....according to the top of my beer cans.
Now I'm not complaining, because I got to visit with many great friends and witnessed a great drive by Clayton in the B and an incredible job by Bryan Clauson in the A.
I too wished I coulda made 'em all!!

Only God himself could have poured enough water on LPS to keep the dust down and he did that on Thursday.

Those of you that think you can do any better, go ahead, lets see you try

For the first time ever I went to all 7 ISW races. Also the first time ever to the burg and TSS. Seen some awesome racing! I give every track credit for trying but mother nature won at every track. Unless you guys that complained went to every ISW race dont complain about 1, THEY WERE ALL VERY DUSTY! I don't see why so many haters for LPS, it wasn't the worst and didn't see many people hating on the rest! The biggest dust problem was guys sliding over the cushion coming outa 2. There was standing water in the infield, they obviously watered it as much as possible!

We do it that way at Paragon Speedway if leader is scored the lap counts, can not take a lap away from leader, if so leader would have to run 26 or 31 or 41 laps or sometimes more, duh

Coondog, thanks for the explanation of the yellows. I don't agree with it, but that's the way it is. As far as the track, sprints were the only thing running that night. They had a lot of time to have someone go out and grade, water, whatever they needed to do. They seemed more concerned about watering the drive to the parking lot. I did see a lot of people leaving about 5 laps into the feature and they didn't look happy. I went to Gas City on the first night. They had two other classes and still took the time to to work the track and it was great for the feature.

Has Haubstadt changed its surface in the last couple years? It sure looks different now, a lighter color and more powdery.

...maybe i have you all beat. i went to all 9 nights of ISW & loved it everynight. 7 nights got dusty and 2 nights got soaked, but loved every minute of the week. Almost threw my shoulder out patting myself on the back for making it to all the tracks this year but i should be ashamed, living in central Indiana and this was my first time i made it to all the races, won't miss them again. Now a weekend for the taxicabs and sporty cars, then back to sprint car racing, and about 50 weeks from now everyone come back and let's do it again. bob
