There is no reason to worry:

1 you are one of 4 tracks within 60 miles of each other running sprints tonight

2 the KY Derby

3 Tim's locals will not come out to see this show when JR and NASCAR are on free tv

4 COLD WEATHER

5 the reputation of being a stock car track that is hard and slick

I know this will light up a few of you and the promoter will get a false since of support when he reads your posts

Bottom line put on a package of hot dogs, a bag of Microwave popcorn , and a 2liter of coke and open the concesion stand.

Sunday AM Tim will be asking "WHAT WAS I THINKING"

Thank you for your negativity, please take it somewhere else.

Exactly what this thread DID NOT need.

Tim wanted to know exactly what kind of support he will get.

Feel free to call him up at 812-569-1982, he said he will answer any calls made to him. Thats why his number is made public for everyone.

Thanks to those of you that are being supportive of this deal. As of 8:30 we are still racing.

I know we can expect to see the guys chasing the USAC points, but was wondering if you have any feel for how many locals might also be there.

Here is what I wrote on the Brownstown message board...I believe with all my being that if Tim shows a profound determination from this point forward to get this race in, he will be rewarded with a sure home run. Here:

To whom it may concern,

On behalf of the throngs of Indiana Sprint Car racing fans, I implore you to do everything in your power to get tonight's event in. Let me put it to you as simply as I can...People are starved for racing in the state of Indiana right now (as well as those coming from Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio, etc.). Even with inclement weather, if you do not waver, and you persevere through whatever weather we get this afternoon, you will be rewarded with a large back gate, and a packed house. Waffling about getting this show in is not the way to go. If you resolve yourself from this point forward to racing tonight at all costs, the people will spend the gas money to come from long distances, and they will wait through any amount of rain to see racing tonight. If you don't have a curfew, run the show into the wee hours if you have to, but be determined to get this show in no matter what, and the people will come. So will the race teams. GUARANTEED. Everyone wants to go racing tonight. EVERYONE. Please do not let us down. We all beg of you...

Thanks for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely,

Dean Mills

I got a gauge on some drivers at Bloomington, and im expecting at least 40 cars.

On an unrelated note, I just watched the entire 500 Mini Marathon...lol Great finish as one guy tried to cut off the other at the finish, and some elbows were thrown
