Kokomo Speedway: WOO LMS Hoosier Dirt Shootout DRIVER ROLL CALL

[WisWildManFan]

If they can’t get the place half full I would think this would be a money losing deal. I think they would have been better off doing like what they had done at i55 and having 2 complete shows each night. I can’t make it Friday but would have went Saturday for a full race.

I agree with your post. I don't really understand it either. You would think that maybe they could have ran the race@ FALS with maybe a reduced purse. Idk...

Hoosier Dirt Fan posted that the county would not allow the race at Fairbury. Guess that makes Curl's decision easier..... But as t4g2 mentioned when Curl made the deal with Kokomo Indiana allowed 100% capacity and has walked that back twice since! Like trying to read tea leaves for these poor promoters.

One thing we do know is the tax liability in Indiana will be less than in Illinois. Hopefully that helps Curl enough to at least break even.

Hats off to him for even running the race. Never been to Kokomo but have read it's a racy surface. Should be a fine couple days for the fan.

Matt Curl said he would only run the PDC if they allowed full capacity

So can fans not buy a pit pass for this event?

According to what I have red there will only be so many pit passes allocated for the fans. If you want to ensure you have a seat in the stands buy a general admission ticket and go to the pit gate and pay the difference.. I would message Fairbury on their Facebook page for info on that.

Lets hope fans and teams don't blame the track and satff on this cluster F#@* and remember that most of the issues surrounding this event and many racing events across the U.S. revert back Covid-19 and crap surrounding the virus and $h!t it's caused.

I agree advance tickets suck but really don't have a option here. esp if your traveling a distance. if you don't get advance then your taking a big chance of showing up an it's sold out. Advance seats here gets you in 1 hour early to mark off your seat. then whatever seats are left is first come first serve. with circumstances as it is this year it's a tough decision.

I agree, and the O’Conners are good people so hopefully no one takes it out on them or Curl.

I live fairly close to Kokomo and won’t be going, but it’s a win-win for everyone. I’m a pit pass attendee watcher, and can’t go on Friday, and then add in I have no guaranteed seat or pit pass on Saturday, so I’m out for logical reasons. And I’m not a fan of cluster F#@*’s either. No ones fault but the Rona. I’ve been to Kokomo many times before, and I’ve seen the WoO DLM’s at other places before too. I’ll let someone else take my spot buying a ticket, and hopefully they will enjoy the show, coming back to Kokomo in the future. Like I said, it’s a win-win for everyone. I’ll be watching it on DirtVision so that’s a plus too. My next try to go-to DLM race is the SN at Butler, if that doesn’t get canceled.

Here’s to hoping everyone has a great time at Kokomo, because I know the track prep will be outstanding. Back to FALS next year I hope.

On a side note; I wonder what the over-under odds are for a first time WoO DLM winner will be for Kokomo? That said knowing the track will not be all used up with multiple classes. I’ll say you’ll see a very good chance of someone that doesn’t win regularly, winning. We’ll see.

Prediction on car count for this race? I’m going to go with 45?

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

I’ll say 35-40... almost every lucas driver at I-80 said they were going home for a much needed break before Florence...

[zyoung25]

We were thinking about buying advanced tickets, so that way we aren't making a 4hr trip to not be able to get in. I highly doubt I'll be able to make it for whole show Friday, but we were going to buy the 2 day, and just upgrade if we can.

I won't be blaming anyone, that's just how things are right now.

[lurker]

40-45 sounds about right. The wild card will be the local'ish Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio guys that might show up. Maybe one or two from Michigan too. He!! Tour is off too so you might gain a few cars from that.

[lurker]

Just a heads up zyoung25 and all.

They allow you to blanket off seats as soon as the gates open, then make you remove them at the end of the night and do it all over the next day. For cleaning purposes. (That was directly from Jill two weeks ago) So get in the gate early on Saturday, back stretch grandstand, rows 20 up to 25 are the best. I personally like section “I”

[t4g2]

Sold Out on advance tickets so whoever is going best call the track first to see if you can get tickets. Per Kokomo website.

looks like only camping is sold out unless they opened up more tickets.. shows advanced are still available.
