I don't get it that only 26 cars were at the track tonight. When Gas City ran their sprint week show, they had 44 cars @ LPS. Where did everyone go???

Guys with smaller budgets don't want to run with USAC.

1) How much is your life worth?

2) Transponders free

3) If 35 bucks is what kept you from racing, maybe you ought to take up golf.

hans,radios and ect. did not keep us from coming! safety is at the top of our list, and i think radios should be required it sure saves line up time! we were doing an engine swap, got behind and with the heat decided to take a night off .

Ever think sprintweek was last week a lot of people with worn out equipment and worn out pocket books. Does it matter the race was awesome. The entry few ect don't keep people from coming most don't want to run against the talent usac brings. Congrats to dickie!

35 bucks didn't keep them from racing. Maybe they went somewhere else to race so they could race against guys with budgets that are in their ballpark. Believe me, it makes it a lot more fun to race when you know you can at least go out there and compete with the competition.

Didn't Gaines prove that a low budget team can compete? For that matter i would consider the top 2 lower budget teams.
