Any doubleheader or tripleheader dates and also preferably on two consecutive days at tracks within 50 miles of each other.

That way the fans will get to see 4 or 6 feature races in 2 days and it is easy on both the fans and teams for travel and overall expense.

The track owners could cross promote the races, and even offer discount tickets to people who purchase both races in advance. The same could be offered to the drivers/team owners, reduced pit fees for teams willing to participate in both days of racing.

I want to see a sprint/ midget double-header,
10,000$ to win both features
10$ general admission
owner/driver and first born of both.....FREE
pits 11$ (well you are in the pits)
75 degree night
BOTH feature's over by 10:00 PM
Each row of the grandstands has to buy a said owner his purple tires for the night
0 percent chance of rain
no support divisions
no dust
nice cushion
tacky all night
and a photo finish in both feature's

Does everyone still have BOTH hands on their keyboard:rolling

Throw in Angola for ISW, paved edition. Yeah, I know, along with Baer Field, it's way up there. But winged sprints have run at both tracks. I can say at Angola they could flat git it.

Both IRL and NASCAR could add a dirt race or 2, seeing that they already have road/street courses.

Greg, did you mention Anderson? How about a 100 lap feature up there? Less likely to be follow the leader, perhaps.

I did leave out Angola and Anderson:doh:. Those would be nice additions.

Tracks already complain about paying a $20,000 purse for a one division event, what makes you think they'd line up to sign up for a purse twice that, at least, for two divisions?

There's nothing wrong with the half-mile paved, they have there now. 30 laps and it would eat tires like the most abrasive Eldora surface and make a great race.
