Thursday midgets, Friday sprints at Gas City, and Saturday Silver Crown at IRP. Sounds good to me.

I think you are pretty close on the car count if it had been a sprint show though I think the car count would be significantly higher. With a new track I hope they just run it as a standalone class.

32 is the under. If it is as you say INDY and should be huge, It should be 50+ between USAC/Powri,

How many cars does Kunz bring is the question... I think it draws about like a Midget Week race.

IndyCar drivers on the dirt? We can only hope!

Here is video of Thomas Scheckter testing Brent Kaeding's winged sprint car 7 or 8 years ago. https://vimeo.com/26732013 kind of interesting. I've seen Scott Dixon several times spectating at Gas City. I could see an exhibition race with just them if you could find owners that would want to risk their cars.

An IROC/Prelude to the Dream type of race with the Indycar and NASCAR stars would be cool. But do that race in open wheel modifieds with a midget or sprint race as the headliner. Modifieds would be a little safer for those drivers and might level the playing field.

I remember when this happened. I know Tomas was excited, does anyone know why he didn't pursue more?

I think it will be over 39. That is why I picked 39 as an over/under. I was hoping to cash in.

I don't think you understood what I meant by over/under. I set it at 39. If it is over 39 I win, if it is under 39 you win. I am confident it will be over 39. If you want to bet let me know. I stand behind what I said, or I wouldn't have said it. Doesn't have to be money.
