It isn't Indiana, and it isn't dirt (although the plan is to use dirt cars), but it IS open wheel, and both drivers testing in the video are known to Indiana fans. . . . I am REALLY looking forward to this event. https://www.facebook.com/texasshortt...1oqRpI&__xts__[0]
Sorry about the Facebook link. I will update when I get a general version.

Ultimately, there’s never been a need to have separate cars for each discipline. I witnessed first hand how the same car was used for both dirt and pavement. Requiring 2 or more cars, specifically for each surface, I believe led to the decline of pavement sprints. Then when given the choice, dirt track almost always wins. I wish them luck with this series

That looks like it would be a pretty quick track, hopefully they are very diligent in safety checking chassis's/wheels pavement is much tougher on equipment.

The track has been around for awhile. When I first moved to Houston in the late 80s, it was a dirt track, Big H Speedway. It was paved in the 90s. This will be the first open wheel event (other than Thunder Roadsters in the past) since being paved.
