I'm not in the know about USAC's decision making, but I'd guess that a return to Kamp is questionable. Or at least it should be questionable.

In a perfect world, I would schedule it like this:

Burg
Liberty
Gas City
Kokomo
Kamp
<off day or two>
Paragon/Putnamville International Speedways
N. Vernon
Bloomington
Haub
Haute

I'm not expecting double the purse....I'm saying maybe that could give us a six- or seven-grand to win race during the week that also pays maybe six-hundred to start. Asking the promoters cannot hurt - if they don't want to do it, they don't have to....but if they think it's worth a little extra money to get another date, it benefits the guys in the pits!

Bad part about that Kirk is that maybe the extra bucks wont go into the purse

Promoters might need the extra profit they make from Sprint week, or midget week, to offset losses on other races in the season.

Whether it's Sprintweek or Midget Week, I can't see USAC or too many fans excited about returning to Rutnamville until Dave Allison is gone.....
And that's unfortunate because personally I like the place, and have seen some fabulous races there.
