What's up with this USAC "mainstay" event being scheduled on a Thursday night? I see there is a miget race on that following Saturday up in Wisconsin, but what gives? It just really upsets me because it'll be tough for me to make that trip on a weeknight. The Hulman Classic has always been one of the most prestigious events on the calendar since it's inception, and now it gets bumped.......... for what? I understand that there has been alot of questions to be answered about the "Action Track", but (I'm lost for words). :doh: :crying:

Just when we thought things were going to get better over there. I guess you and I need to find Greg Staab and take him out to the woodshed for a sound thrashing, Chris!!:O: (Just kiddin' Greg!)

I agree, Chris. It should be a weekend event!

Carb Nite Hulman Classic ! Might make travel tough but it ties into Indy and Terre Haute so I would expect a lot of local support on both ends seeing how Mike King is the IMS Voice.
USAC Sprint cars in the infield where you can talk to the drivers and buy T-Shirts. PriceLess!
Davey Hamilton is part of the new group maybe he can stage an infield t-Shirt contest in Honor of Mr. Happy.

See you there.

I like the date for the Hulman myself. Was the original date for the Jack Hewitt classic at Kokomo but I now see that that race is on the first weekend of May. I'm planning on coming up for Terre Haute, Gas em' up City, Larryburg and Haubstadt for a kick ass weekend of racing!

I agree that weeknight races are tough on fans for travelling and i don't know how everybody's job deal plays out but anytime we want to travel to a race i need to take some vacation days. It's this simple, if you have the days built up to take vacation you go to the races. If you don't you might have to miss out on something. :greenflag:

I got just the opposite problem. I can not go to a race unless my girl friend goes with me.

I could probably lay out drunk all night and nothing would be said, but go to a race and not take her, holy hell would break loose.
