    Run the supers and 604's before if it looks like it will rain. The 4cylinders, stock cars, and mods can run whenever I head back to the hotel for sleep!

    Don’t know the management of the promotional group. But I’ve seen Mike Van Genderen is connected, he’s a no nonsense promoter that prioritizes event management at Iowa tracks. Not sure how well it goes, it’s a first time undertaking. But guarantee they won’t be taking lessons from some of the clusters I’ve seen the last few months on FLO.
    I hate time trials.

    $1500 a piece for those trophies? I got a bigger trophy for winning the Ohio state Punt, Pass and Kick title in 1972.

Within a few hours they had a revised schedule posted. I believe they are optimistic on the amount of time to run the events but once you get there, who cares? Monday through Thursday of this even is designed for the racer, not the race fan. I did not watch all of the broadcast yesterday but I saw enough to keep up with what is going on. Same thing for the rest of the week, my tv will be on. If I am a racer I don't care what time we race as long as we race. Friday and Saturday is for the fan. The Super Late Models will be the "star" of the show. But the drivers that have been there all week will race before the largest crowd and the best venue most of them have ever been to. I have read most of the event posts and have seen the information they constantly update. I believe they are doing a great job. Let's give them a chance. BTW - there is no race track in the country you can go to and be guaranteed that everything will go perfect and on schedule.
    There are a lot of race tracks that run on schedule Tri state Indiana an eldora are just an example.

    I won our local (Dayton/Montgomery County) the year before, but they gave my trophy to the only female entrant, so she wouldn’t feel left out. I was supposed to get mine later, but never did. Still pissed about it lol.

    I seen Mike Harrison was one that said he wasn't going to sit for there week for the money they were paying. Sounds like a lot of them felt that way.

    Can't say I blame him.
    Got to believe most guys just don't want to take the chance of bending a car before the season even starts.

    Well Harrision joined up with Josh Caroll to run a Hughes USMTS car and is going to Humbolt, KS to run the USMTS King Of America and probably the best of both worlds USMTS vs UMP event at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, IA.

    That would be a good show but limiting the car count is a bummer.

    To say that Harrison is scared of the competition only assures how misinformed one is in the modified world.
