Not a complainer just airing an opinion.
Tim, if USAC is running a show 1 night on a given weekend in Indiana, I can bet you that on the other night of that weekend most USAC guys will run somewhere in the Hoosier state. So there is always a reason to hit another race! And we haven't seen the MSCS schedule yet. Which should create some weekends worthy of a trip.

Good point. My problem is that i really need to be choosy cause i can only make 3 weekend trips per year. I get what you are telling me though and you are correct.

Eldora has basically become a hotbed for Late Models, WoO and special shows for NASCAR hoopla and an alphabet soup of other sanctioning bodies. So much for history and tradition, thanks Tony.

Has to be Tony's bad decision making.They get about 1400 for a USAC sprint race, 14,000 for a WOO race, and 18,000 plus for LM race? And he doesn;t have to deal with a certain shumbody.

I know I am not keeping with the negatve theme, But I have been mapping it out my calender and it looks OK to me. Not perfect, as I would like all races at my hometrack and no other tracks to run that night. I also applaud POWRi, USAC, and all the tracks for the co sanction shows. Hopefully it will be a good safe season.
