Thinking of the area, the track sits in.


I agree with Charles on getting new racers and families involved.


Just a thought on possible weekly divisions moving forward. I know it's a sprint car track so don't kill me or bombard me with the b.s. tin top crap. Just saying


Crate Racin' USA Crate Late Models (604)
Crate Racin' USA Modifieds (602)
Crate Racin' USA Stock Cars (602)
Crate Racin' USA Sportsman (602)
Crate Rain' USA Thunder Bombers (OEM stock size motor. 363 max .060 over bore)
Sport Mods
Crown Vics
Hornets

Don't run all the classes, but just some classes for thought.

Crate Racin' USA is a great sanction down south. I would love to see them come up north. UMP has turned into a complete joke. We ran with the Crate Racin' USA Late Model Tour at the Talladega Short Track during the Ice Bowl back in January and they were about as professional as you could get with tech and race procedures. As far as the racing there with the different Crate Racin' USA Divisions it was an equal and a level playing field.


Other divisions to think about
Keeping with the Tracks Sprint Car roots maybe run a few 410 Non-Wing Sprint shows a year
USAC Midwest Thunder Midgets
bring back the All-Star Circuit of Champions for a show or two.
BOSS vs MSCS vs USAC Show
USAC vs POWRi vs Xtreme Midgets (If the 3 series could agree)
FAST 410 Wing Sprints
Steel Block Late Model Series gets a good field of cars for their shows.
ILMS Crate Late Models
Indiana RaceSaver 305 Sprints vs Ohio Thunder RaceSaver Sprints
NRA 360 Sprints vs GLSS 360 Sprints
MMSA Mini Sprints (1000cc Mini Sprints)
Maybe age Super Late Model and UMP Modified shows.
The Steel Block Sprints seem to be getting a good field of cars for their shows.
Bring back the AMSA Mini Sprints (1200cc Mini Sprints)
AMA Flat Track Bikes.
Monster Trucks.
Tractor Pulls
Demolition Derbies in the infield



Heck maybe even a few concerts to help bring in revenue like Plymouth Motor Speedway has been doing the past two years. Earlier this year they had Vanilla Ice. Just a few weeks ago they had Tesla with Buckcherry and later this year they have longtime heavy metal icons Megadeth with a few special guests. Get a promoter that is capable of thinking outside the box.




Just some thoughts.
