IRA is at Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth tomorrow night. Anyone know of any non-IRA teams that are planning on being there? Weather looks like it's going to be great! 

"They'll learn." 

unfortunately, with some teams in PA (Abreu, Larson), and WoO in Cedar Lake (probably drawing some Knoxville teams), I think the non-IRA teams will be Briscoe in the 71M and Balog.  Not sure of anyone else.

I really doubt that they would lose any to cedar lake seeing that the woo is the two days after.  I would say you get a field of cars in the mid 30s but I often am optimistic on car counts.

Chase Briscoe

I tell it like I see it.

plymouthdtr.com has Spencer Bayston to make an appearance

23 cars, 360's are definately the better show. Up from Illinois for Cup race so its nice break heading into the weekend. Chatty Maddie, I dont know how she fits into the IRA program, but she is horrendous to listen to.

Its always such a pleasure to read your inspiring posts.

In this case, the negative is warranted. Aside from Thiel and Balog, the rest of the IRA field is in over their heads in a 410. It was ugly. Years past a person could justify the ticket prices when you had a half dozen outsiders show up to put on a show. Hands down the steel block 360's put on a better one now. It was still nice to take in a race when in town, but IRA needs some help on the track and the booth. Between the announcer always yelling METHANOL MONSTERS!!, METHANOL MAYHEM!!, or anything else with the name methanol added to it, that chatty maddie.... good lord.

I wathced on FLO and yes, that was a terrible show. Terrible track prep. Maybe it rained but guessing simply over-watered. Wrecked a lot of nice racecars. Announcing is a tough gig but wow, that whole prerace "get up on your feet" and screaming into the mic thing is tough to take. 

Track prep at Plymouth Wisconsin has been absolutely horrendous all year and last year . They used to have a good crew and I don't know what they did with them . The guy that's in charge is making calls and all he really knows how to do is probably drive a dump truck. Track week after week is not any wider than a car and a half track is overwatered cushion is never up high to the wall where it needs to be so you can get some good racing. The 360s can be good but they got have one guy stinking up the show with everyone saying that he's running traction control and they have no way of proving it they did take some of his points away one night but his idiot sponsor said he would pay for any legal action if they didn't reinstate the points his race sponsor is destroying that division and racing at that track. The race Director that stands in turn four also seems to think he knows how to prep a track when he can hardly run a race program. I love the sprints but that race Director and his buddy flagman not the regular flag man Alex the substitute knucklehead one favor them sprints so much that the other three divisions race there suffer from it. They absolutely do not care about those other three divisions it's totally clear when you listen to these guys on the scanner. save your money my friends until they can get a track with a cushion up nice and high they're going to lose cars and fans. The race director isn't helping anything either. Lots of cars all over for the other support division but we can't get him the race there because they're treated so poorly or the track conditions are so bad.
