How we looking? Rain is gone but how is the track? Should be fast if not too wet.

what time do the gates open

Panama · 5/27/11, 1:30 PM

Found this on the interwebz, if practice starts at 5pm gates should be open by 3:30-4:00 my guess.

Practice begins at 5 p.m. Qualifying at 6 p.m. Modified races begin at 6:30 p.m. Hoosier Hundred begins at 8 p.m.

Tickets: $25-$30, adults; $10, children.

I don't like that format either ---- Who does like it?

I thought the 100 miles had a lot of strategy with twin 50's its just
go fast------

I'm headed out to watch my favorite driver Shane Hollingsworth get his second Hoosier 100 victory. Sure wish it was done the old fashion way... straight 100 laps and see who the best man wins, not the best tire.

My best to everyone entered.

Yeah, makes you wonder if Hoosier tire isn't running the show and not USAC? If you were Hoosier, you could look forward to selling twice as many right rear tires with the twin 50 format.

I really wish they would choose to go back the to the traditional Champ car race, 100 laps of conserving your tires to win.

Good luck to everyone! Gods safety and blessings!
