There are great tracks in both weeks. One of the greatest things about ISW 2009 was the drama involved with the fight for the Sprint Week title and the way it all culminated at Haubstadt, on the last night. It went down to the very last lap before Levi Jones had kept the away title from the hard charging Bryan Clauson, who had nearly overcome a handicap caused by a first lap wreck, that forced him to start several rows behind Levi. The rivalry between those two has only intensified, so when you add to that the current level that Chris Windom and Jerry Coons, Jr are running at right now, you couldn't pay me to miss any of these Indiana Sprint Wee events. Especially that last week.

Also, you're going to see a wider variety of tracks in the second week. Starting with the historic half mile. Then onto the beautiful red clay of Bloomington, which is pumping out great A-Mains this year. After that, onto a nostalgic old fairgrounds bullring, that looks like something out of a novel. One that you might see a bullfrog jumping contest at. Then onto one of the best tracks in Indiana and in the county, for that matter. One that is maintained by the master of track preparation, who was the National Promoter of the Year a couple of years ago. The only downfall of selecting the second week is that you would have to miss Kokomo, which is killer.
