From what I've heard it's a hard sell to get the promoters to go non wing shows and boy do the hit harder when they flip.

Way Over my head it flew right over about 15000 feet.

I love the non-wing stuff, but some of the people we race with have a hard enough time staying straight with a wing on... Tulsa was a cluster**** through all of practices and the heat races.

Me and dad were talking about the series deal today, one of the main things that both need to improve on is acting more professional. Update the websites several times a week, adding pictures and well written stories about the races. Find someone who can write well written press releases that promote the tracks and drivers, and help to draw interest to the sport. The way some of the stuff released you would think we were all a bunch of drunken hillbillies. (Not completely false )

Haha it's a line from the anchor man! You'd have to see it! Lol

Slide 22 We send our kids to college to do things like this. My kid does something with computers I don't know what he does but he does it. I'm sure if someone would offer there service at a reasonable rate he could get a job with either bunch and it would be a big help to all us.

And I don't live in Kentucky anymore. Im a Hoosier now "That's a guy from kentucky that ran out of money befor he got to Michigan"

Why dont they just use the scales at Lawrenceburg? Dont they weigh the modifieds in that building? Why could they not weigh the mini sprints there.

MMSA uses Brownstowns scales, used the scales at North Vernon when we raced there.



I dont care if race teams use alchohol or gas, I just dont like the idea of spending money changing cams, valve springs, milling heads etc.

If the 2 series allow this type of motor work, why dont they just let everyone do what they want. Why care about bore and stroke.

I would still like to see everyone put the motor into the car right out of the bike, no motor work, run alchohol or gas I dont care, allow power commanders?

What do you all think.

The ilss guys are having there al archdale memorial race at peoria speedway in Peoria, IL on October 1st. its going to be 1500 to win.

Could you post more info on the Al Archdale race. WE would like to know pit gate open, race start track size and banking. It would also be nice for several teams to get together to share driving and gas expense. Now I guess i'll go google a little.

I own the #5 and #7 mini sprint cars driven by Drew myson.

Both motors were sealed box stock in 2009 and are still sealed.
I have never had the valve covers off either engine. Box stock right off the bike.
We are not getting out motored but both cars are ussually very competive.
Both cars on alcohol and no power commanders are used. You do not need power commanders-waste of money.
The problem with the scale used by AMSA is the variation of 50 to 70 pounds if you are adding weights to meet the alcohol weight limit.
Adjust the weight to be at 970 go to the scales and weigh in at 92t5.
Go add more weight come back and weigh in at 1025.
This is a pain in the '''''''' to screw around trying to comply with a scale system that is very unpredictable.
At L'Berg the AMSA scale should be set up properly on the concrete pad near the tire pile about 75 feet from were the AMSA trailer parks.
The pad could be tped off so scales are plased on the same spot each race.
You do not need to be to smart to solve this scale variation problem. Just recognize you have a problem and go fix it. Simple as that.

Do not think peolple racing min sprints are doing a lot of magic to the 1000 cc motors. Just good tuning and great car adjustments.
Thoe racers good at tuning engines and cars are always fast and ussually accused of cheating. I do not personnaly know any one today who is running anything outside the rules.

Focus more on what you can do to get better performance and less on what other racers are doing to be fast.

Strive for performance improvements every week just to maintain parity with the competition. Continue to do the same thing each week, do not expect different results.
Added rules will not solve this issue. Harder work at improving performance in tuning and set up is the answer.

Sorry for the post length but I feel strong conviction about racing and having fun with my boys. Do not enjoy all the ******** and finger pointing to teams that are fast and win.

George The only thing I learned out of 9th grade biology was "good,better,best, never let it rest, till your good is better and your better is best" . I've remembered this for 50 years now and it does seem to work, as a 15 year old I thought the teacher was a kook.
