Kevin Eckert's column is reporting the Oval Nationals will now only be two nights instead of three. He also said they're cutting the purse from $30,000 to $12,500 win!
One thing that does seem odd is that both USAC & Perris website have all 3 nights still listed.
If Kevin is right about the 2 nights, this is terrible news. As this 3 race weekend is what got many of us travlers through the long raceless winter.
I'm hoping Ventura or Victorville will schedule a race Thursday to pick up the lost night at Perris. With all the people who travel all over the country to attend the Perris weekend I'm sure the promoter that runs Thursday would hit a home run!

SCRA fan board has a post about the purse being cut, but say nothing about cutting down to a two day show....I'm guessing Kevin Eckert is wrong on the cutback on the show....

Well, I've already been wavering on whether or not I'm going this year, so cutting back to 2 days would seal the deal and keep me away.

Great news. I was hoping it was still a three day show. I would have traded my tickets for Manzy....
