BIG DIAMOND WELCOMES OPEN COMPETITION SPRINTS
Open Competition Sprint Cars get four race dates at Big Diamond



    "Open competition", "run what you brung" or "just about anything goes" describes the return of 410 Sprint Car racing at the Big Diamond Speedway in 2012!
    For many seasons, an "open" class of sprint cars - up to 410 cu in engines - have competed at the Clinton County Fairgrounds.  During 2011, that run came to an end.
    During the 2012 racing season, these former Clinton County competitors will compete in God's Country as part of four Friday night racing programs.  The Open Competition Sprint Cars will first compete on Friday night, April 27 in addition to a full card of 358 Modifieds, Sportsman and Roadrunners.  The same line-up is scheduled for Friday, May 4.  The Open Competition Sprint Cars will return on Friday, June 29 as part of the Race 2a Cure Night at Big Diamond.  The final appearance of the Open Competition Sprint Cars will be on Friday, August 24 which will also be the final night of points for the Modifieds, Sportsman and Roadrunners.
     Scott Lutz, one of the group's regular competitors, describes it this way.  "We allow anything up to 410 cubic inches.  We allow the old disc style wings or the newer flat top wings."  "We're for the little guy - we may buy 5-6 brand new tires in a season!."  Lutz continued.  "We run for a lower purse but with twenty cars starting the feature, you'll see a good show.  We all help each other - it's what racing is all about!"     
    The 2012 schedule at the Big Diamond Speedway has something for everyone - if it's racing, it's at Big Diamond in 2012!
