Thanks to Kokomo Speedway and USAC for an awesome event. Three nights of great racing with a well prepared track each night. Perhaps most of all, thanks to the drivers for putting on a show. Best thing I heard tonight was the confirmation of a Smackdown in 2013.

Think it should be rotated from track to track imo

Think other tracks should do the same thing, make it a month long tour!

I say its KOKOMOS race until proven otherwise!!!! The Oconners worked thier butts off to provide a GREAT track & hung their balls out there with a hefty purse !!!! They dont rotate the Knoxville Natls or the Kings Royal and we DONT want to rotate the Smackdown!!!!

I'm w/ ya. I was afraid that the build up from last October to now would lend itself to a let down. Should've known it'd be everything i hoped for. Want to also throw a huge shout out to STOOPS FREIGHTLINER w/ their late addition/ support for the best race cars in the world.

I kinda thought the same thing to be fair to the other tracks but I just can't agree, the track was great all 3 nights and to be a stand alone event that we NEED in NW this needs to stay at Kokomo!!!

C-ya next year.

You guys are funny...

I will go out on a limb a little here and say that the owners and drivers as well as USAC would welcome any track that wants to put up the kind of money Kokomo did this weekend to have a three day marquee show. I don't think anyone would complain about that. So, if you can talk your local track into having their own SMACKDOWN type show, everyone would be in.

Kudos to the O'Connor family for having the (courage) to hang it all on the line to create this event, and see it through. Fantastic weekend. Well done.

Rotated? What are you talking about, rotated? This event belongs to Kokomo Speedway. They're the ones who came up with the idea and took the financial risk of actually putting it on. Other tracks can host similar events and that would be great, but Smackdown belongs to these guys.

This was a well run event and I had a great time, all three days.
