Late models indoor in St. Louis

[ChrisNunn]

Stick to announcing. Not a promoters mouthpiece.

Stick to trolling.

You seem to forget there is a very reputable promoter also involved in this, I guarantee all money will be paid out and accordingly.

We've been burned twice now on indoor shows that were horrible. The last one we were burned with was at Indy late last year and obviously a fiasco of Biblical proportions.We will take no interest in this latest manifestation of indoor racing. Indoor racing has it's place and shows like Ft. Wayne, Du Quoin and The Chili Bowl are wildly successful and prove it can be done and provide top notch racing in the process. But for every Du Quoin and Chili Bowl there is a Silver Dome, Kemper Arena and Indy.If it works in 2016 we'll be there in 2017.

hey CIRF trust me when I say this this will not be an INDY Fiasco and will make Duqouin look like a go cart track , I have been there for super cross and monster jam nd it should be problem the only question I have is the consessions , would kinda geuss that INDY would be a like racing on a basketball court

Like I said in the other post before it got deleted. Monster jam and sx will not compare to this at all, other than it being on dirt. The fumes is the only thing that has me worried. I've been to the EJD for sx and it got fumey everytime they had a full gate of bikes for practice or race. Monster trucks don't run along enough to create the fumes as bikes, and cars will produce much more fumes than bikes do. I attend indy every year for the sx, but there they can open the ends of the stadium and clear it out pretty quick. To my knowledge EJD doesn't have that.

Didn't they have to stop the indy deal because of fumes? I understand it's a smaller venue, and wasn't made for motorsporting events, someone didn't think part through very well.

I will be there by the looks of things, I'm not hating at all, its my only concern. The track will be fine, and they'll get cars no problem.

Kevin Gundaker is reportedly assisting with the event (Tri-City Speedway, not far away). I trust his reputation. As a fan, my concern still is the fumes. I've been to the Monster Trucks at Indy (Lucas Oil Stadium), an awesome event...no issues with fumes. Also at the old Rosemont Horizon (now the All-State Arena in Rosemont, IL) they have large fans/vents in the roof that clear the place out quick, along with the heat (you'll see your breath for a bit). But in my backyard at the NIU Convocation Center (too small for Monster Trucks by the way), they don't have an adequate ventilation system and it gets pretty fumy (is that even a word?). As a racer, my concern is pitting. Because I'm "not" one of the guys you'll see on the poster, am I going to have to pit at a parking garage down the street? Been there, done that as the little guy.

The pits will be inside at the convention center next door. They say they have room for 200 cars/haulers. From the overhead shot that convention center looks plenty big.

My advice is preregister once it opens up. Then you shouldn't have to worry about pitting in the parking garage.

1.7 million square feet big

[old fan]

it suppose be all indoors jet o9

[zyoung25]

I don't think you'll have to worry about parking anywhere outside the the building. My guess is IF they got enough cars to fill the convention center, they will park some haulers outside and have teams bring in what they need. Pretty much the same thing they done at bristol way back when.

[ChrisNunn]

I assume there will be a TON ...and I mean a TON of Modifieds at the event

If youre not there in 2016, there WONT be a 2017

Maybe, maybe not. If it all goes bad, as several in the past have, then 2017 shouldn't happen anyway. If it all goes good there will be a 2017 race regardless of whether I'm there or not in 2016. It simply costs too much money to attend these races only to find an unsuitable venue or management that doesn't know how to produce a viable indoor show.

It might be a good idea if the people that are to be managing this deal would talk extensively with Kenny Brown, Emmett Hahn and Lanny Edwards. Those guys have been putting on wildly successful indoor shows since the mid 1980's, especially Hahn and Edwards. Advice from those guys means something 'cause they know what they're doing and prove it year in and year out.

We've been to Du Quoin for the indoor racing in The Southern Illinois Center more than a half dozen times and it's been some of the best racing we've seen throughout the year every time we've been there. Call it anything you want but ya' can't call it bad racing, at least not if you're telling the truth.

[FourDeepInTheFluff]

CIRF, I completely agree with you about Du Quoin. Absolutely unbelievable and cant wait for March 19th! Will be our 5th time there! I've long said that Chili Bowl is the best event I go to every year, but Du Quoin is the best race I go to every year.As far as STL indoors, well.... I was at Indy Indoors. I'll be at STL Indoors. Some things will be worth the $$ to say you were there in 40 years...
