A Facebook Post by USAC approx. 10 minutes ago:
Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of both Track Enterprises and USAC to find a reschedule date for the 63rd running of the Hoosier Hundred, a suitable date that worked within the Indiana State Fairgrounds’ schedule could not be found. The USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series resumes tonight with the “Horn-Schindler Memorial” at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. |

That doesn't surprise me. I hope they keep the grandstand there longer than I expect.

Suitable date could not be found, or would not be found? Nothing new. Eldora should do a mile, or finish the mile Earl started on years ago behind the current track.

Very very sad one of the biggest, most prestigious races of the year doesn't have a Rain Date in the first place! Plus it's sad that they just kinda forgot their used to be a Hulman 100 too.

Am I off base here or is it very odd and a travesty that a bedrock race in the Club's premier division isn't afforded a solid rain date at the time the schedule is determined? Shouldn't these possible eventualities be considered from the get-go?

You are right, Brent! They care more about their dang horses! That's why the track has gotten worse and worse over the years! I remember when it used to actually hold some moisture at Hulman 100s or WoO Shows, when I was a kid. Wish the current fair board was more excited about promoting a great series and preserving the history too! I realize Bob and even A.J. Foyt had to work out lease deals to use the track. I remember watching The King beat Sammy on a last lap pass at the WoO show in 1991. The stands were nearly full too!
