I'd love to see another non-wing IL Sprint Week. But would there be enough teams and/or fan support for it to be viable? It seems like everyone who attended the La Salle IL Sprint Week show last year raved about it. But everyone who attended that show could have fit into one section of the stands. And we only had 18 cars. Perhaps more importantly, the only "local" driver was Blake Nimee. Maybe a USAC sanction would entice enough of the "late model" fan base to spend some of their money on a series they know less about. Maybe not. The WoO sprints work in non open wheel markets because they have "brand name" drivers. It's a known entity. Non-wing racing, not as much.
