Let's see, you have Grandview, Lincoln, Port Royal, Selingsgrove and Williams Grove. If you are a non-wing guy you might want to move to Indiana,

SPRINT CARS ONLY!!

WITH QUALIFYING!!!!!! (Something I am extremely happy about!!)

More details will be announced as we get closer to May 31st.

I guess I have a lot to learn, and I know this is going to be a stupid question, but if they don't qualify, then how does it work?

I won't go into a bunch of details... without qualifying drivers have to "DRAW" for a starting spot in heat race.

It truly is one of the dumbest systems I've ever seen.

Draw? Like etch a sketch? Sorry, I guess I need to do some more homework. I still don't get it.

I'll just pay attention tonight!

Thanks!

Draw, Draw a pill to figure starting position for heat. Usually the top four finishers transfer to the A main and the top two of that heat are put in for another draw for feature starting positions 1-6 or 1-8

3rd and 4th from heat start raight up based on their heat finish but no better than 7th or 9th depending on the number of heats.

Everyone who finished 5-10 in heat runs a B main where usually the top six transfer to the tail of the A.

Uh, is there a Rosetta Stone for that language? Or a Dirt Track Speak for Dummies? I think I need one. Didn't understand a bit of that! Thanks though!

Now there's language I get! Thanks, this could be the start of a beautiful relationship!

Of course, I said that to my third wife, and something pretty close to that to my 4th!

Qualifing sucks!!!! when it's hot and a large number of cars are at the track. Kills the track.
I Love Qualifing when it's a sprints only night and they run them off quickly on a short track.
Draw? sometimes not perfect.

Any way they do it will be great. Nothin but Sprint Cars!!!!! Thursday's !
