Except ISW race at Terre Haute that same night. Or not. Personal choice I guess.

Exactly that is why a wednesday was chosen.. No conflcts, except for USAC but that dirt not asphalt and different racers.

I'm not talking about the racers or the track surface, I'm talking about the FANS. Remember them?

Honestly how many fans are spread between the two? God forbid two races scheduled the same day hundreds of miles apart. A lot of ******** for no reason

All I need is a heavy track and heavy buzz!

Mike; For my situation, and I know I'm being selfish, a schedule conflict like this can be a plus. I have to make a general plan weeks in advance for any roadtrip I take and I can only take 2 or 3 a year. That being the case, I always look for dates that give me the best chance to see the maximum amount of races. For example, once I'm in the region, if the weather forecast for Terre Haute is 80% chance of rain and Sandusky only 30% I can change my destination. If there's only one race scheduled on a particular night there's no plan B. I know I'm in the minority and sometimes I make the wrong choice, but for me having an option is a good thing.

You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same. Copied from the back of the #16 supermodified.

I think we share a brain when it comes to chasing racing.. Always try to have a 2nd choice!

Stoney:

Nope I am just one of the sponsors and bringing two cars.

410 Winged Sprint and a 468 Winged Super Modified.

Read the press release Kevin Ruic is the promoter and renting the track from Sandusky.
