Of all of the quality dirt tracks in Wisconsin, I just don't understand how Wilmot is the one they schedule. One of the best USAC sprint car races I've ever seen was in the late '90s at the 1/3 mile in Beaver Dam. Dave Darland in the Hoffman 69 , Kevin Doty, and Tony Elliot all trading the lead every corner for most of the race.

Isn't Beaver Dam a DirtVision track? There is your answer. I think I was at the race you talked about at Beaver Dam. Sprint midget double? First time I ever saw Josh Wise race. I went Wilmot this year for the first time. I liked the place. Raced real good.

It's no Hales Corners. ;)

Re: 2024 USAC Sprints
 

Simple explanation - Wilmot has developed a fan base with hosting the Wisconsin wingless series for the majority of their schedule. The rest of the Wisconsin tracks probably don’t have as much confidence that a USAC race will be cost effective. As the get off my lawn crowd often says about winged sprint and late model races in Indiana - if the promoters thought they could make money from scheduling them, they would.

Beaver Dam has 2-3 IRA races a year, and they’re all on Flo. So I don’t know if that’s a thing.
I’m sure they (USAC) will be at the Prairie the next night. They’re trying to give them a couple nights of racing, instead hauling up here for just one race. Should help car count…. In theory anyway.

Re: 2024 USAC Sprints
 

I think IRA races would be an easier sale, because of a lower purse and a local following. I hope to get back there next year. It was a good weekend, except the Prairie getting rained out.

Pretty sure Williams Grove is a dirtvision track but Usac runs there during eastern storm almost every year.

Re: 2024 USAC Sprints
 

Not just Williams Grove. The dates where this happens were established before the streaming wars heated up. Let me know if any of those tracks add a High Limit race, or any new USAC races.

Years ago we were coming back home from from Michigan. We came up behind a truck pulling a sprint car. Pulled up anlong side and hollered out the window where you racing at. He said Hales corner so we went to Hales corner and seen on heck of a race. Sammy and Steve went back and forth for the entire race. Was never in that area again for a race.
