Hope they continue to build on what the team did last year. I will be there for USAC sprints in July. Heck of a show last year.

The radar was right. It is done now. Going to be windy. That will speed up drying.

A lot of people always say tracks should reschedule rain outs. This will show other tracks if the crowd is worth the investment.

I agree. Their documentaries have all been good. Comparing Mel and Rich was pretty cool. I am sure I will watch it more than one time.

Or they could wait until they know for sure what is going on. Something may be in the works that none of us know about. Would save from making contradicting announcements.

I was all over the place. Never saw you Charles. Even walked to the bike track, but couldn't find the racing family. It was a big crowd.

Pretty good race. Seavey was exciting up top. Liked the slight changes to the shape of the track. Best race I have seen there since the new track was built. Maybe the biggest crowd I have ever seen...

Does anyone really want or need the next level? Yes, I would like to see participants make more money. Usually that just makes them spend more. Go through the pits at a big wing race, and look at the...

With the crowd I saw on YouTube that they had the first night, that was probably a blessing that they had to cancel. Someone had to lose a bunch of money.

Looking forward to getting back to Circle City again. Not sure of how many shows other than USAC, I will be able to attend. I really like that track.

I was at Red Hill that night. A real crazy chain of events. I was also at Attica in the spring when that rivalry kicked into high gear. It was a great season. Even though both made some mistakes,...

I went to the Ditch many years ago. It was unbelievably tacky. I have seen it a few times the last 3 or 4 years. It seems to be packed a lot harder than it used to be. I would still go back.

I am glad that Flo added AFT to their line up. That is great racing. Have seen them back in the day at Kokomo, the Indy Mile, and Eldora. Back in the Camel Pro days.

If you take banking out, the wall doesn't match up to the track. If you make it flatter the top of the wall sticks out. this would be really troubling for wing cars and late models. What they did was...

I know you like to take shots at Eldora, but the last 3 or 4 years, I have seen the best surfaces that I have ever seen there. I have only been going there since 1982, so I can't speak of before...

I am pretty sure that both steel block series have an open tire rule. If that is what fans and teams truly want, then the pits and stands will be packed for their shows. The other tracks and series...
