USAC 2008 Nat Sprint & Midget Schedule

So to go to the event on 7/26 at IRP, you have to go to the Busch race too? Yippie. Just the type of fans I look to avoid. I hope that is one of the changes.

I do like them going to some other places.

Which means technically right now Terre Haute isn't in a possition to schedual something.

These guys are gonna need a lear jet. Sure it's not one vennue like the WoO but IMHO much more competitive and a greater number of cabable winning teams in each division.

Williams Grove? Is that televised???????? Thats gonna be scary!

Chuck, just glad for another year of solid schedualing. Thanks Greg!

I bet its a misprint it should be the 24th.It was a pretty skimpy crowd for the SC race on thursday last year I had hoped they would add something else

from the USAC site:
"Traditional events highlight the calendar once again, including .......... Joe James/Pat O'Connor Classic ........ Border Wars................."
These two were mentioned in posts on this thread as missing. USAC and the promoters apparently have just changed the dates a bit from the past.
BTW, some might not realize that the Joe James/Pat O'Connor Classic has traditionally referred to the sprint car race. It was a Sunday afternnon in October event for years.

Thanks so much to Dick for the Long Distance Traveler's version of the schedule. That is very helpful! I know that Midget Madness is attempting to put together a complete midget schedule but a combined schedule is a great idea.

Just amazing I hope it is subject to change for the sprints nothing on dirt from when speedweeks is over to Eldora 4 crown because I do not consider Joliet a place to go at all it is a piece of chit track why do they not go back on labor day and co-sanction at haubstadt again or is this there answer for that weekend now by scheduling junky Joliet.

The last USAC event at Joliet, a sprint/midget double-header was run on a good track.
BTW, Darland sure had 'em covered until Lynn's car gave up near the finish.
