First, thanks for asking. Seldom do promoters solicit input from fans before they do something. I am sure that many of us welcome the opportunity. I think the fact that there are no negative comments in this thread shows our appreciation.

Dirtfan07 mentioned Farmer City. I think that the only date when Kokomo doesn't have a date but Farmer City does is July 22, the "Terminator". I believe it has been stated elsewhere on here they may add some more dates, but right now it looks like there are a lot of Sundays where there is no conflict with either Kokomo or Farmer City.

Look like a good idea. Go for it.

You people that are worried about conflict with Kokomo, WHO CARES! Paragon is not close to Kokomo and can do well on Sundays for us that can support Paragon. Nice thought Kieth.

Not worried at all about Kokomo. Just stating that the opportunity exists to be the only show around on those dates. For me, Kokomo will always be the first choice while others will chose Paragon. If there isn't a choice, we will be at Paragon.

Especially the one at the end of SprintWeek. We'll gladly stay over an extra day for that.

I think it would work, but also agree ya have to get a quick show so we can get up monday morning for work. If ya do the U.M.P. sanction deal you could get the guys that run for u.m.p. points to come there if ya run modifieds, street stocks and sprints. Just something to think about. I would love to race at paragon, keep us updated..

I think it would be a great idea in august and september when kokomo isnt racing. I love paragon, but you run up against nearby pville, which is my favorite. personally i would go to paragon over bloomington and gas city on fridays.

Going to lincoln park would be better than burg, closer, more cars better racing.
