Great racing in all divisions, multiple grooves most of the night with lots of slide jobs! Those 600s are fast little boogers!

First off I am not knocking any track or promoter, I’m very thankful to have several tracks in the area to go and enjoy the sport. However I would love to hear the reasoning of not having an ambulance on site. I can remember many times racing being held up for an ambulance to replace the one that left with an injured driver/fan etc. I understand that there maybe emt’s on site fully capable of triage, but would you really want to wait 20-30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive if time is of the essence? while we’re having the discussion how about fire fighting equipment, do you all think the area tracks would be able to handle a worst case scenario with a driver trapped? just wanting to have an honest discussion Steve

Thank you all for your input

Great report! Wasn’t able to make it this week, but your report made me feel like I was there! Lol! Thanks again

So suspension wise would probably be ok, just need to read the fine print on engine rules. By that same token I’m assuming (I know, I know) that a factory and a pure are similar as well?

Curious if one bought an IMCA Istock, how far out from the street stock rules would it be? Never messed with either. Steve

That's a good way to get someone seriously hurt, or worse......

Start time moved to 830

Thank you to all involved, It was a great night of racing. Hi Tech, no skeeters where we were in the stands I think the breeze had alot to do with it. As soon as the LLM's went 4 wide I think we all knew that wasn't going to work, but the splash landing was spectacular! lol

talking about safety, I see many drivers not wearing gloves. In the case of a flash fire or worse, your hands are the number one thing you need to get yourself out, undoing belts, window net etc .All things made much more difficult if not impossible if your hands are burning. It is my belief fire proof gloves should be mandatory.

What time are the races starting tonight?

Pure stock carnage

Could have just bought mine for cheap and I have all receipt for car!!! And setup sheets..lol wish you luck in build. Is it still for sale?

When I was active I personally could care less about the purse..... I just wanted to race. Alot of the time if the payout matched what you spent to enter, you were golden! EVERYONE is going to spend more than they make to race, unless you are in that rarefied air of the 1% of our sport. In 2011 for example I raced all year, finished 6th in points, and ONLY lost $300. I considered THAT a win. You cannot count on the track to subsidize your racing, it is up to YOU to either finance yourself or work your ass off to develop relationships with sponsors. I think its great that STS is even opening this year, considering that looked in doubt for awhile (at least to me) and I'll be in the stands as much as possible to support the track, and thereby the racers, as much as I can. Sorry for the rant, but I honestly believe that negative social media has done more to hurt our sport than any thing else since its inception Steven
