Are any of the dirt tracks in Illinois running traditional sprint cars at all? I know a couple of tracks have tried with limited success. I wish the powers to be could make some in roads at getting sprint cars on the racing program. Some nice tracks that would provide some quality racing in my opinion.

Always good to see the schedule out early. happy to see them running Hartford. I swear you could almost fit Elorda inside that track. Usac had sprints and midgets there a few years ago on separate dates with small car counts and low crowds. around 20 cars each time but as usual a good show. This is a show people should put on their schedule.
Okay, Knoxville still has on their scheduel USAC sprint cars August 4th. USAC's scheduel has Grain Valley. Grain Valley is probably the biggest dump USAC visited last year and was exciting if you liked idiling around the tractor tires, 305 sprint cars racing with 410s, and dust.
The schedule on USAC's website has West Memphis, Arkansas listed on Sept. 8th. Never been there, but have always read rave reviews of that place, road trip!
USAC sprints were at Hartford in 2000...an August Fri night show. Hard to believe it has been that long ago... DD was in the HAR 69...I remember we had the pavement car with us and headed to Salem the next day for the Joe James/Pat O'Conner race. I also remember the place being like a rock quarry...hopefully the track surface is better now.
