Kind of strange that no National guys raced Sat. night at Springfield (Sooner reg.) when they were in the area @ La Monte on Fri. and off Sat. night.
Was there another race somewhere or where they encouraged not show up ??
elbows up...stand on it hard.., & get that win!!

J. Johnson, Stewart, Logan, Hirst, Cox, Morgan & Tankersley all ran Knoxville, but I dont know about the rest of them, unless they was just saving there stuff for Knoxville.

I'd say $$$ to win keeps'em away ,plus the place is a rock quary, Jr. RR had a nice gash in it about 3 blocks on the tire after the A and really don't see how it did not puncture it.
I was sure surprised when we pulled in and only 19 cars at the place.

Several of them went and ran with the All Stars saturday night - not certain where it was - I think somewhere in Nebraska or South Dakota. Just saw Wright and Bruce and a few others ran that.
I agree with JD - when you got the All Stars runnin nearby - even more pertinently you have the last Knoxville local show before the 360 Nationals - and still to boot - there were probably some local Missouri shows that paid near the same and that guys run for points. LOS (Lake Ozark) comes to mind off the top of my head. Probably several factors all different for each team. But I too am suprised there were only 19. Just the night before was talking with Mr. Lenhart and thought upper 20's/low 30's would be a safe assumption. imho - Knoxville probably had more to do with a smaller field than anything else. Some went and raced there - others may be saving their equipment for the 360 nat's. but if it was a good race o well.....not a whole hell of a lot of difference between 19 and say 24. 19 = 3 heats and a full A. - low 20's means another row to the heats or a set of smaller heats - a meaningless B feature - and then the full A Main. wow there i go with car count philosophy lol.
Hey JD what do you mean by rock quarry? lots of rocks in the track? if so that sucks. What other classes did they run outside of ASCS? any good (for stock cars)???

Bruce went to Huset's, Crawley won at Lake Ozark, Dover went to Eagle.

The two USMTS show I saw there was some great racing and I hear that it is the same for the MARS late models when they race at that quarter mile. Haven't seen a sprint show there as of yet...
