If you didn't have a giant grin on your face while watching that A main, you are a corpse. Good to see T-Mez and Grant not give Larson an inch. Larson absolutely had to earn it tonight.

I have had a blast watching so much non-wing stuff this year with Flo.

I agree one heckuva race! Will Larsen win in a woo late model at WG tomorrow to cap one heck of a week on dirt 

Great race indeed!

I was rooting hard for T Mez.... damn

Larson is in another Universe, the favorite when he shows up at any track, any type of car

What did you guys think of the "pursuit" race last nite?

I think it might have been entertaining live, where you could watch the heavy hitters in back, but on Flo you missed all that cause you can only see what the cameraman focuses on.

& stopping every 5 laps was kinda lame...

I have too with Flo, especially the USAC races. From the Tulsa Shootout and Chili Bowl to tonight's bomb-throwing BC 39, it's been great. More big shows yet to come this season like the Tusky, Husets USAC, dirt classic, etc. on Flo.

What a race tonight. The last 5 laps were some of the best I've seen. The cool thing was seeing Roger Penske there both nights along with Mr. Boles. Both seem very excited and enthusiastic, and I think they will turn this race into one of the biggest of the year. They will fix the little things like no stand for the cameras, no announcers booth, flag stand on the back stretch. Easy fixes. Rodger Penske doesn't do anything half-assed.

This could be the outdoor summer version of the Chili Bowl, only better. 

That was an insane Feature.

Simply Amazing!  Must see feature last night.  These guys are creating new ways to get around a dirt track.  I could not believe how they were using the wall and ledge over the cushion. Sometimes it looked they were doing it on purpose and other times not so much.  Seeing this more and more at the smaller tracks like when USAC midgets go to Lanco.  However last night it was taken to a whole new level.   It was very cool.   Also Larson's car survived some hard hits.  What an amazing talent.  He is just so good and always makes it so exciting.  

I love and watch the WoO sprint cars.  However they have never in their lifetime presented an A feature as exciting as the one last night.  The driving ability of the top 3 and some of the others is far beyond those using wings.

I like the concept of it, its something a little different. The actual race itself was ok. Nothing could compare to the finish of the first BC39 Pursuit Race. That was such a wild finish.

Thats exactly what I told my wife when I went downstairs for a beverage. Its like the Chili Bowl in summer. Fantastic racing, they are going to need more grandstands next year. Seems like a bucket list kind of race.

What a race. There was so much action everywhere on the perfect track in the perfect setting with the best drivers around. These youngsters like Timms, Pursley, Axom, racing amongst the veterans have left the midget class the most exciting in USAC history!

Naturaly though Yung Money found his way to the Checkered Flag 1st.....

Agreed.   It would be great if they made it a more permanent type facility with nicer grandstands all the way around the track like a mini Bristol.   It would also only gain more attention to the sport as people visit the speedway and they would pack it.  Speedway and local business would make more money as well.   Conversely it will bring more attention to all the other forms of racing that takes place at Indy especially when people visit the musuem.    

If you marketed it properly and had it on a weekend, it would probably get more fans in the stands than NASCAR does for their crappy event at the Brickyard. 

Loved watching Larson stuffing Grant. Only would have been better if Larson would have knocked him out before he took out his own teammate.

I am sure some drivers wish that Kyle would take up drag racing.  We all know Kyle is one heck of a driver.  There is also luck, several times Kyle could have been taken out by another car.  Great to see him win and great to see these races.

Well Larson is at the Grove so we will get to see him run with the WoO late models tonight!

That's a great track for midgets.

IMHO midgets on a bullring is the most entertaining racing by far...

USAC Midgets at Kutztown was fun too! My first visit there recently, racy track!
