SEE EVERYONE ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 15TH!!

Thanks,

Looking forward to the track, so far I'm impressed with the Ky tracks, if this lives up to the talk it should be alot of fun, I sure enjoyed our first trip to Bardstowns Bluegrass Speedway that was really a nice track.
Really looking forward to meeting the Sullivan family also.

the ASCT has changed the tire rule for these last 2 races of the season in KY. This should allow about any sprint car that runs in the area to come to these last 2 races.

How many Sprint cars are yall expecting on Friday night?

We hope a full field, but who knows at this time. Ponderosa is paying the purse so maybe. We'll just have to see what happens. Fair question but you never know, I would of been at Danville Ill. a week ago but a hole in exhaust port changed all that. I know Wee 3 is going that way, and I hope many more 1425 pound cars show up.

who is paying the purse on Sat night ?

Really looking forward to meeting the Sullivan family also.

Call John Gurley he has the answer.

No one,

if your LUCKY maybe the TRACK.
