Bad boy indy invitational BLOWS

[BadlandsBandit12]

People complain when people complain about racing. I saw bits of it and that is very laughable.

I felt sorry for them poor guys working the infield!! They deserved twice the pay for that debacle. It was a good effort and a huge undertaking to make a track in 12 hrs, but I know I wouldn't do that again. Like someone else said if they could do it at Lucas stadium and make it just a bit bigger you would have a race.

TALON, I've read that the parent company of the motorcycles and Monster Jam have a provision in the contract with Lucas Oil Stadium that forbids any other motorsports event from being staged in Lucas Oil Stadium. Do not have first hand knowledge of those contract provisions but it makes sense.


Try Du Quoin, it's the real deal!

Can't imagine lucas would want clean up of dust after seeing mess they made last night... Inaugural and last indy invite

Found out today from a close friend that went to East Bay for the Topless 50 dirt late model race that the midgets in Indy weren't the only ones that suffered through a yellow-fest. He said it was a 23 car starting field with 12 cautions in the first 20 laps. He said he'd had enough and left at lap 21.

Unfortunately, they all can't be great shows.

At first I didnt know what this thread was and how bad could it be , reading all this bitching about a race..SO... I found clips of it on You Tube. Holy. Freaking. Cow!! What a total joke. That track makes Macon look like the DuQuion Mile. Thats not even big enough for kart racing much less a midget car. Whos idea was this to hold this race and even more stunning, have big enough balls to charge to watch it? Its almost like its a spoof or a joke. But its not. Stunning. Look it up on you tube and get ready to laugh your butt off.

You guys better watch what you say ! The dirt racing pc police (Ben Shelton and Jeff) will come here or write an article about how you are killing racing by telling the truth !!!

Ben Shelton is doing a lot more for the sport than you'll ever do with your constant crying.

Only reason I stayed till the end was because me and my dad were cracking up. It was so bad I went from dissapointment, then anger, to finally accepting it for what it was and having a few laughs. Sure glad we got a hotel room and could drink and laugh. Glad I got to see the PRI show for the first time so 4 hour trip wasn't a complete waste.

I knew going into it is was going to be bad after seeing the facebook pictures of the track, but I didn’t have anything else going on so I figured I’d buy it, I think $20 would have been way more fair than $30, but oh well. As a friend of mine says at the Chili Bowl “$20 doesn’t mean what it used to” (referring to buying beer there rather than having to make a trip back out to the truck in the freezing snow and ice to smuggle in another couple rounds).

Agreed with the poster above, you had to just chalk it up to what is was. I’m not sure what it was, but it wasn’t racing. Never seen so many midget wrecks without none getting upside down (that I remember anyway). I guess they were going too slow to roll over. You could tell some of the cars could barely idle high enough to keep from stalling under yellow. I can’t believe Larson and Stenhouse ran those karts. Just look like death traps for guys that are big Nascar stars. Figured Ganassi and Roush would frown on that. Midgets I could understand, but those karts are crazy. Looks like a good way to lose an arm or a foot.

so crying about people crying and blaming them for ruining the sport is acceptable to you ? Whatever !!!!!!!
