Didn't get to go to that race, but remember they said the track was a little rougher than they were used to with those cars. I saw several races there while it was pavement. a guy I had raced with at Putnamville ran a modified there.

I attended the Indy race was really a decent race there. They also had Modifieds at that race. Seemed like maybe Kenny St John was the promoter of the track towards the end of its pavement years. I started going there in the early to mid 70s.

Ran our modified there the day of the American Indy Car Race. The Indy Cars ran better than I anticipated on a short 3/8 mile track. I really like the track when it was paved. It was really fast and seemed like it had 5 or 6 turns.
Ran a couple races with our dirt modified after they switched to dirt. The only problem with the track was its in the middle of nowhere and not easy to get to.

I was there.
Also remember a USAC midget race, where someone (Jay Brosius?) landed in the bottom rows of the bleachers.

I was there during Indiana Sprint Week when Kevin Studley had a huge crash during qualifying and sent some parts flying over the fence into the turn one area. I don't believe there were injuries, but it was scary.

If & when they reconfigure the track hope they make it great for the drivers and teams.
