We did all seven.
I liked Kokomo best. Four first time winners and seven different winners is mind boggling. I would like to see Plymouth get a race. It would be nice as a replacement for Gas City for ISW just for the bleachers, but a USAC Sprint Car race anytime would be great.

Remember the tracks control the dates. I would look for no changes. Brownstown lost their date to Putnamville. If I am a track promoter, I would say if it ain't broke, don't fix. This years Sprintweek was as good as any year. Crowds were good, car counts were good. What's to fix?

2 of the tracks in the first week need to do something about the seating situations..sell reserved seats...bring in temporary seats..its out growing the grandstands..(good thing!!) Spectators saving the top row in the pits isn't good...I understand why they did it...but that's not a ideal situation for the crews. again...I throughly enjoyed my week!

Only made it to one race but 40 laps for the 1/4's and 30 for anything larger than 1/4 would be nice, but i do understand that it is hard on equipment already...

I hear ya jerry...3 of us took up the space of 2...
2 of us stood and one sat between us the entire night in the GA area because the people around us sat on the edges of our saved spot and wouldn't move! Maybe they will listen to my suggestion in their inboxes?? Hopefully!!

I can't believe someone just suggested replacing Terre Haute. Really?

Terre Haute and the INDY fairgrounds combined with IMS is what took USAC world wide known along with it's drivers then Indycar went all pavement yet there were still some into the mid 70 and a couple into the 80s who would still run Indy and Terre Haute or the Fairgrounds Don't get me wrong, I like the bullrings but the two "OTHER" tracks happen to be my favorite. LBURG for it's speed and Terre Haute for everything, LF in the air, wheelies as zig zagging the stagger down the straights and biking in the corners. You really watch whats going on at Terre Haute and you'd swear their cajone's wouldn't fit in the cockpit (No offense to the lady drivers) I wasn't at Terre Haute but the races I've seen there had guys come from 17th or so to podiums. A Feature isn't five minutes flat but sometimes a half hour I've seen features with Ballou on the wall and Darland on the inside rail sixty feet apart but side by side for multiple laps. Just because the cars ain't bangin wheels, don't mean it's not good racin. Burg had Windom come from tenth at halfway to third running the inside while Clauson was up top. And Cummins coming from the tail to eighth. We all got our prefferences and thats great. I like the variety
