Travis Cope

Congrats young man for yet another win @ NSS.....You guys sure have that track figured out...Mike is the best crew chief Travis could ever have..OSF

[Ryan29]

I'm glad I was out of town, I would have been pissed to pay 20 bucks to watch 13 cars for 100 laps. At least the bombers are showing up!

The Sportsman feature (well, there were only features...) was worth the entry fee.

Patrick Thomas is really on top of his game right now, but beyond that, there is a lot of skill throughout the field, and interesting cars. Leaf springs, no leaf springs, Monte Carlo bodies, radical 80's style bodies...and lots of side by side racing.

[Phil Jacques]

Fairly decent car counts... Very nice to see!

[Ryan29]

Yeah the sportsman division is great too, seems like the car counts are slowly shrinking though.

Ryan, do you think the Triple Crown event at Bronson may have pulled a few cars away?

[Ryan29]

Yup, that had to have something to do with it for sure. I forgot all about that.

That was my assumption. That's what happens when every track in the state runs the same night. I bet some guys may have attempted to pull a double if they could have. I prefer the way we do it here. Only 2 tracks run the same night, but that doesn't always work everywhere I guess.

NSS-Bronson

Actually in viewing the results on the Bronson facebook page it looks like only one NSS regular driver, Austin Howell, was in the field at Bronson. The rest of their roster looked like a combo from Citrus and Bronson. The heavy possibility of rain may have kept some drivers at home as well. Sure is nice to see the NSS counts continue to grow each and every week. Small increases sure, but still growth in a positive direction, After going to Texas and Alabama for the Nascar Cup races, I returned to NSS on the 23rd and they had double figures in all but one division. Not too long ago it was small single number counts in all. Wanted to attend last Sat but health issues interfered with my plans. Hopefully be back at the track again this week....See ya at the races.....

I'm thinking that the small regular purse at NSS for Sportsman is starting to affect the car counts. When you start 20+ cars and it only pays $50 from 8th on back it's not that motivating. With 20 cars a whopping 60% of the field are all going home with a measly $50. These new tires last but not enough to justify that kind of chance of loss. They need to step up the purse and stop the bleeding now before the car count falls to last years average which is about half of what they are averaging this year. Lately Sportsman are the biggest draw at NSS. It would be unwise to piss that away.

[Phil Jacques]

I posted this once, and I will keep posting it Scott... There's many reasons our "sportsman" division has 30+ cars regularly...

$50 for 8th is unacceptable

[scottgarrity07]

Oh, and for the record there were ZERO NSS cars at Bronson on Saturday.

Phil,

What is the adult grandstand admission price up yonder?

[Weftracing96]

Thompson Speedway

pits $30
Adult 18
Senior $15
Kids 6-14 $5
5 and under free

Waterford Speedbowl

Adult 17+ $17
13-16. $5
12 and under free

You have to pay well at Thompson. A stout motor is required and those long straights and high banks keep em wound up. It's bigger and faster than New Smyrna. Waterford if I had to compare to a FL track is closest to Citrus. Bullring with exceptional side by side action.
