First question:

If you were in charge and had to design a tour such as the East Coast swing, where would YOU take the USAC National Sprint Series next year? What part of the country? What tracks and how many races would you book?

Second Question:

Are time trials neccessary at USAC Sprint Car dirt events?
Can USAC put on just as good of show without time trials?

The time trials are fun to watch, but I don't think they matter. The best cars almost always end up in the front.

no need for qualifying if you use pill draw format with passing points,it would help save the track by not starting so early when sun still beating on track thus helping us to not have to race on dry slick crappers.

...I would bring back a "Buckeye Nationals" (sprints and midgets) with an added "Jack Hewitt bonus"...any driver sweeping both features on the same night would receive a $$$ bonus...Thursday through Sunday of a holiday weekend...Waynesfield, Limaland, Fremont, and Attica...

I would like to see a USAC National Sprint Car tour through the Midwest. In no particular order:

1. Lakeside Speedway (3/8 mile, slightly banked, dirt oval located in Kansas City, Kansas.)

2. Lucas Oil Speedway (3/8 mile semi-banked clay oval located in Wheatland, Missouri.)

3. Lake Ozark Speedway (1/3 Mile Banked Oval located in Eldon, Missouri.)

4. I-55 Speedway (1/3 mile high banked dirt oval located in Pevely, Missouri, near St. Louis)

5. Knoxville Speedway

I like time trials. I not only like watching them but I like to hear who is driving each car and who their sponsors are.

A great tour would be..
Monday La Salle,Il
Tuesday Pecatonica,Il
Wednesday Farley,IA
Thursday Independence, IA
Friday Davenport, IA
Saturday West Burlington, IA
Sunday Open Rain Date

( I would like to see the USAC midgets run with if possible)

I say keep Time Trials..

I would like to see if you come out of the B....The best you can start is 7th...Or the old way tail the back of the A.

Being that you have squirrels at every race, time trials are a necessity. Allows good car/drivers to start up front like they should. Invert 4 cars for heat to create action.
