(Correction) No rain in Haubstadt, Kaeding WINS!

With the unstable forecast in ELDORA, I decided to stay closer to home and attend the World of Outlaws show in Haubstadt, Indiana. It was my first trip ever to Haubstadt and I was impressed. The track is similar to Farmington except a lot flatter on the staights. The track is very similar to 2 very flat drag strips with corners that appear to catch the cars and send them on their way again. THe surface of the track was tacky and fast all night and gave Sammy Swindell enough traction to break the track record. (The locals said it's been 4 years since the outlaws visitied Haubstadt! WOW) This track held moisture unlike any I've ever seen. There was never any dust and it was tacky all night. I noticed at every break in the action, packing trucks/tow trucks would run in the track to keep the moisture in it. There was never any black marks on the surface, even after the final laps of the feature! That rarely happens.

Brian Paulus #28 led for the first 10 laps or so before coming upon lapped traffic and it appeared he looped it by himself. During his mishap, he collected the 2nd place Tutnal also! This gave the lead to Steve Kinser who led the rest of the way with Donny Schotz on his bumper. There were many close races and quite a few flips. In fact one of the local guys had the worst flip of the night. #28 Doctor Johns (.....KEITH????) flipped violently down the front stretch coming down hard upside down. It took a while to get him out and he walked to the ambulance after a lengthy delay.

Some of the other results were Sammy Swindell 4th, Craig Kinser started in the rear and finished 8th or 9th?? Another of our locals, Danny Lasoski ran off the pace all night.

The world of outlaws roll into TRI CITY speedway Saturday night for their last area appearance of the year! A special thanks to one of the locals who bought me dinner for visiting his track. They are quite proud of their track and called it the fastest 1/4 mile in the U.S. HMMMMM. Swindell did turn a lap of 11.1 something!

Thats kinda funny, Racerrod thinking the King won, when Kaeding won. But, on the good side, nice report, your enthusiasm for he place really comes through. I always like the race reports written by the fan in the stands better than the sterile press release ones!

RR, you going to TCS? Give us all the details tomorrow, please!
 
I was watching Schatz try to get around Kinser in 4, for the lead, when Keading flew past them both on the high side, I remember thinking " where the h*~l did he come from". Great pass!
I would also like to brag on that track, It's well worth the drive, to see any race there. Even all the workers are friendly.
 
Wow....Granite is looking great for tonight, especially with the addition of many of the All-Star boys who are off tonight.

Anyone know the car count from last night?
 
Correction: Tim Kaeding Wins Haubstadt!

No beers but started walking down the bleachers with a handful of laps to go and missed that one! I knew I had to get out of there to beat that terrible traffic jam. (Parking there is a bear!) I kept looking up and saw Kinser and Schotz running nose to tail but didn't see any pass by Kaeding and Swindell. I asked one of the fans in the parking lot and he said yes Kinser won. Guess he left too soon also!?

Damn I should have watched the last couple of laps huh? The parking at Haubstadt was such a mess that I knew I had to get a head start to get out of there alive. I kept walking and looking up and never saw anyone pass him??? Usually when the KING is out front with a couple of laps remaining you can forget about it. Made the correction on the heading. Way to go Kaeding, he was definitely fast all night!! Thanks for correction bigrightrear.

43 cars, including All Stars, Kemmenah, Hannagan, Smith and Ke. Kinser. Also 4th place point man from USAC Levi Jones bolted on the wing last night. He will however not be at Tri-City as they are getting ready to head to Charlotte and Dixie this week. Since Tri-City is a half i'm sure the car count will not be quite as high, but definitely a lot of good cars. Big congrats to Tim Kaeding on his first feature win, he is brother of Bud Kaeding who is currently second in USAC sprint points. Also big congrats to Levi Jones on his win last Friday at Gas City.
