I'm thinking USAC may give first consideration to the tracks that support them on a more regular basis throughout the season rather than just a one-off. I don't recall Paragon having a USAC race in a long time.

You should try again. Try e-mailing Kevin Miller or one of the Jasons. They usually respond.

I would go to Paragon for a sprint week show though.

Count me in. The KISS races the past 2 years have been excellent.

So many of racing's great moments have happened at this place. And it's one of the best settings, anywhere. Keep on trying, Keith. Sprint Week deserves a race @ Paragon Speedway. And vise versa.

Paragon was a co-founder of Sprint Wk & the force behind getting USAC involved,

Since when does the current USAC management group care about history? BUT if they do grant a date to Paragon then I will be there, if not then a KISS show or whatever other series you might bring in, always liked Paragon.

I'm sorry but I disagree.
The last USAC races Paragon had were complete jokes. And let's be honest - is Paragon really ready to host a high car count QUALIFYING show? I mean, the track was junk for the KISS race this year, even without qualifying!
Also, is Keith willing to take a mid-week date? Is he willing to run just ONE support class? Or, at most, features only for two?

Can't we first request a better-paying qualifying show before he gets a Sprintweek date? I don't want to see a one-lane rubber show, and I'm pretty sure the competitors don't, either.

My guess is that you will have to take a regular USAC show this year, kind of like Brownstown did last year. I think Brownstown might get one this year after doing a good job with their stand alone show last year.
