I seen a clip of one hotlap session and the guy was sitting half up the stands and nobody was below him. Higher Purse with less numbers.............................
As for the Wed's I say thats a little harse but I could see any track wanting to wait for it to air till mondays..
Still Wed's is better than not at all. Thanks Jiggs!
It seems like a lot of the casual fans that used to go to Gas City on a weekly basis don't attend as much as they used to. I didn't think Jiggs was promoting anymore. I thought Tom Brenner was the promotor.
We love Gas City . Came over from Fremont,Ohio every week for ten years. What changed? Daylight savings time,that's the one and only thing. With work we just can't make it. We still make the big shows,but we plan ahead to get off early. If I could every week, I still would. No fault of the track at all.

I also travel 325 mi. round trip to enjoy the close racing at Gas City/I-69 Speedway. As far as the racing, it seems like the winners from USAC and KISS both came from 3 to 4 rows back and used the high line to RACE past those on the huggy pole. That is why I choose Indiana for my sprint car fix! As for the disappointing fan support, I surmise all of these posts are accurate to some extent but paying $25 per ticket to see cars and drivers you can watch next week somewhere in Indiana for $12 is also a contributing factor. Sean's videos only make me want to return to Gas City and Kokomo more often. Also, I am making plans to visit both Bloomington and Lincoln Park for the first time in a decade. As the saying goes" take a friend to the races" and we can contribute to the growth of NW sprint car racing. It is really the purest and most magnificent American racing one can witness!
