A dirt track just inside of turn 1 at IMS would be pretty appealing. Easy pit area access, plenty of exterior parking for spectators on the other side of 16th street, and a relatively open area that is just used for the road course which can be viewed easily from the stands in turn 1 and the short chute. Snake Pit Speedway at IMS.

Maybe USAC is hold the answer to that back for a good surprise when it is announced. As long as that date gets filled. Look at all the tracks around the state that don't have a sprint week date.

Kokomo
Bloomington
Lincoln Park
Terre Haute
Tri-State
Lawrenceburg

Tracks with out a Sprint Week date
Montpelier
Shadyhill
Plymouth
Gas City
Daugherty (Boswell, IN)
Paragon
Route 44
Brownstown
Twin Cities
Chandler / Movieland

Track not built yet - IMS

Any chance the first race will NOT be in Indiana? I know it sounds odd, but Joliet and Eldora are not too far over the borders.

I would say no to the tune of get your own. A LOT of good tracks in both states to have something of there own.

Just got back from a trip to jungle park. The track looks like a small 1/2 mile to me. Good banking but not as much as Eldora. Things are coming along real nice but the pit area was under water but I did see a lot of drainage pipes they must be getting ready to put in. The man I talked to said they are confident it would be open before sprint week if the lights arrive on time.

Need to do like they use to do and open it up at twin cities

They should just make it Indiana Sprint Weeks and let all of the tracks have a race.

Eldora used to have a Sprintweek date.. but I think it should stay inside the borders also.

How about at the Indiana State Fairgrounds - on the mile ?

After the last non-wing sprint race on a mile resulted in a racer death and much other carnage, I doubt you will ever see non-wing sprints on any mile track again. The speeds are too high and the car weights too low.
