I totally agree! USAC has killed that series too! Just like pavement sprint cars. It's like watching something you care about die.

A few years ago, I went to 5 races in 4 days. It was AWESOME!

Too bad someone can't recognize what fans would like!

I LOVE the month of May. I look forward to it all year long. And unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the speedway anymore.....

You do have the option of the HPD Midgets at the Speedrome Friday night.

I'm not giving up on pavement racing quite yet. I remember several years in the early 80's when we had no pavement racing at all. All of a sudden in '86 or so we get Thursday Night Thunder and pavement is back strong. Time will tell; but when NASCAR is looking for young talent USAC pavement racing will return.

I remember they used to have 20 cars in the hulligan. The top ten made the feature.

On Saturday the Lil 500 seems to be were a lot of the "talent" is flocking to more every year..............Maybe IRP needs to change their race date??

I also remember when they only started 16 cars in the feature. My first Hoosier Hundred, I believe 1977 was the first time they ever ran a hooligan
