Where are they supposed to come from? Pretty much the only place that gets a full field of them. Four years ago there was $9600 up for grabs. Three years ago $7500 now this. It's just sad. Just trying to find a way to justify 40 laps on a motor and $500 in tires to get slapped in the face by...
What is the pay schedule for the sportsman class. Going in to two years ago no one knew what the pay schedule was and at the end of the night it was a slap in the face with regard to years prior to that. So please WHAT IS THE PAY SCHEDULE?
While I don't personally own or drive a car I have been involved with racing for 10+ years. To some this may be useless chatter, but I've heard no one else saying it. Regardless of anyone's stance on U.M.P. there is more to the decline in participants/viewers at any local Friday/Saturday night...
Oh you're right kdawg...Brad Loyet wasn't in a fist fight after the feature at Duquoin last winter. I'm not defending the actions of Mccool, rather pointing out your stupidity. I do have one other question before I go. Which kind of cars require two engines to go racing?
Don, I think anyone locally knows that you've more than given more than you're fair share to the local racers. It kind of goes without saying family comes first. They deserve your time; you've given plenty of us. With regards to the race somtimes Mother Nature wants a trophy too.

While I understand the point you all are trying to make would you want to beat the same guys you beat any given week. What happened to the world that we don't strive to be the absolute best there is? Again, don't misunderstand, I know the value of that cash to those who race that class...
I have no dog in the fight so really it doesn't matter, but who in the world thought unlimited inch motors with four link is a b-mod. If you have a good Willy's 2 bbl you've basically purchased a four barrel. And just like that an a-mod. Dumb rules. I hope they at least look different.
Don, I have a question. I will in no way hold your feet to the fire. Do we have any idea what the payout might be??? I don't want to pressure Ray as I understand those lights are expensive to keep on. :D
Dirtboy I was misinformed as well as many others. Having the "set field" was not ump that was highlands call. To be clear as a bell it was NOT the promoter's (Scott) call. Be upset or angry as it was a call that made the mod heats less than stellar. Just don't blame Scott or UMP.
Gilbert is beyond right. Here is an idea!!! It is the highland speedway not the ump speedway. Just run the show as a new show. As previously mentioned hell tour is OVER.
I for one am not sorry about how I feel about this. The qualifying for the night was not completed e.g. the field is not set, at the very least not for late models. Any other classes I guess it's debatable. If I were running a race track with a $5000 to win the night before that's pretty...
I don't have Sam's phone number. I did find his email address. Please tell him how dumb the "set field" is.
