Re: Illinois Sprint Week
 

I'd like to see it run in September. The USAC schedule was real light this year until 4 crown. Jacksonville, Granite City, Lincoln, Danville, Quincy, maybe Joliet if it could be worked out. Spoon River could be good if the track was ever watered.

Unfortuantely, there's no possibillity of scheduling any show at Godfrey now.

:thumbYou definetly have to include Farmer City, Lincoln, Morgan County and Granite City. I ran both Shows at Flora last year, neat track the second night. A lot of fun and great crowds both times. I too would try to use MSCS if possible but if not I understand. Personally I would rather see something late may or early June before Sprint week and TNT tour.

It is to bad we lost that race track to along with Little Springfield in the 80's we seem to be going backward here in IL in that regard and who knows how it will work out for Farmer city to plus Danville status is a big ? right now to.

Belleville for sure. Red Hill if you can get it. Before it closed I saw some god shows there. Use it as a lead up to DuQuoin. I think it would help the crowds both ways. Friday sprints down south and Champ cars on saturday night.

How come nobody mentioned Mt. Vernon? Its a black slick no passing track like Flora was. If it hadn't been for Levi showing up the 2nd night at Flora that race would of sucked as bad as the 1st one.

Both tracks have a TON of potential if they were prepared properly. But what the hell if ya gotta run a JUNK A$$ DT-3 it won't hook up anyway?:thumbsdown: We aren't saving any money running this tire anymore, its just hurting the compition.

MSCS or a New Series :idea: would be great for the NON USAC guys.

If you want Granite City, you better start talking to Kevin now, I know they fill their schedule quick.

Maybe you could be hired to prepare these tracks, since you don't race anymore, or someone could give you a DT-3 for Christmas?:)
