Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Two days at Eldora over Easter weekend,I like it.:thumb

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

A good schedule.:applaud: Glad to see Toledo and Kalamazoo on there, but I'd like to see ORP on there as well.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Alright!! Two visits to Terre Haute for me next year!!!

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Kalamazoo?????? Wow, thats awesome. :thumb :applaud:

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Good to see Calistoga back on the schedule, question is, will this be a true "National" event this time or just the western sprints again?

Well after looking at the other two series schedules I have answered my own question, with the midgets at Sun Prarie on the 5th and Silver Crown running on the 6th I would assume that Calistoga is just a western deal again. Bummer

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Actually a pretty decent schedule other than a few things. Still not sure why they made another west coast swing in February as I can't imagine any team making any money on the trip. Why not just leave it a west coat USAC/CRA show and leave it up to the teams if they want to go. Two trips to Iowa in two weeks. Pretty poor planning in my book. Heck at least the second trip there is two shows. They really need another show to go with the Newton show. Kind of disappointed the Eldora shows continue to get fewer and fewer each year. The two day show is cool in April but why not another stand alone show in the summer. IMO they need to scrap the triple crown idea and schedule more shows. Still a pretty light schedule in August and September. Overall it is a decent schedule.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Hasn't the Easter weekend doubleheader usually been a WOO show? Does this mean they are out or will they run one night with USAC?

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I am really very suprised to see no Brownstown on the schedule. I thought for sure after the 08 USAC race Brownstown would have a date again.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I am not bashing or trying to cause a pissing match, but why for sprint week did they do Lawrenceburg on Friday and Gas City on Saturday? That is opposite of their regular nights of racing. I am also disappointed in no Brownstown show.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I heard a rumor the outlaw weekend would be in May.Take it for what is worth.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

JEE-ZUS! Come on already with the highway pounding during sprintweek. Terre Haute on Wednesday, then ALL the way up to Kamp on Thursday, then ALL the way BACK down to Bloomington on Friday? Does anyone care about logistics? How about being efficient? A huge WASTE of time on the scheduling! I can't imagine that Kamp and Terre Haute would mind if they flip-flopped nights near the end of the week. I'll book a room in Terre Haute and stay there on Thursday night and let you have the Kamp "dustbowl" to yourselves. An outdoor pool and some rest and relaxation is far cheaper than driving 400 miles because USAC can't tell North from South!!! Otherwise, I love it! Can't wait for 2009!

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Kinda what I was thinking. It's a good schedule, but you'd think logistics would matter more. Especially if gas prices are high again next summer.

Overall, looks good though and has the beginnings of a truly national schedule.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Two things here---- First of all BUMP this THREAD.
And, can I pick my own rank? I mean, who gets to tell me I'm a hot lapper or a mud packer or maybe even a waffle belly, HA! I won't be satisfied until I WIN HOT LAPS!!!!
I'm going to continue posting until my rank is: HOT LAP WINNER...........because that's where it pays the best!

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Did I read this right? USAC National Midgets at The Belleville Nationals on 7/31 competing with USAC National Sprints at the Iowa Speedway on the same date.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Yeah!:applaud: 10 pavement shows!!:applaud: Now all I have to do is wait and see who's running pavement next year so I can look for a job.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I like the pavement also....Very excited.Cant wait.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

This was done as a favor to travelers, fans and teams. We did not want to race Gas City Friday, then drive all the way south to Lawrenceburg, then back north to Kokomo. I would love to have Saturday, but it made more sense for the teams and fans to go that route. Let me know if i am missing something.
Thanks, Dave

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

GREAT MOVE :thumb

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

It is great that you and Leroy can get this accomplished. What happened to the second week though.:O: Terre Haute to Kamp to Bloomington?:doh:

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

It's a good schedule, but for selfish reasons I'd like to see at least one race in Illinois. I wish the race in Joliet would have happened last year. A sprint race at Granite City would be good too. Maybe there will be some additions.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

glad to see sprintcars at kalamazoo. the winged cars are getting played out. i went there in september and tested my chalk. it was lots more fun without a wing than with a wing. cant wait. 20 mins from home. for those that have never seen this track it the jem of west michigan. i was in a winged show there that ran 30 laps in 6mins and 8 secs. :greenflag: now i need some usac pavement takeoff tires.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I agree, we will not waste our time or money sitting through another dust storm. Suprised to see Kamp on the schedule again after one car flipped into the pits and another almost ending up in the grandstand. The track is not set up for safe sprint car racing. Great to see THAT get a date for ISW.:thumb:thumb

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

why no brownstown? i thought it was a great show and only usac race i made in 08...

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Good schedule, but please dump Kamp and plug in Brownstown. It took 2 weeks for my lungs to clean out the last time I will ever go there. That place is a dust bowl straight out of the 1930's.

As for the Burg on Friday. Thanks Dave, it is nice to see a promoter thinking odf the fans . What is really nice to see is the promoters working together. Nice to know that in Indiana the promoters aren't trying to out do each other. A tip of the hat to everyone involved.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I noticed this too. Wnder what the deal is there...

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

For the last time: Brownstown cannot do a Sprint week date because of the Jackson County Fair.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

the 08 jackson county fair ran from july 20th - 28th how would a sprintweek date conflict with it if they ran a date the first week? and i was just talking about a usac date anytime not just sprintweek

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

The egg shaped Mercer ought to be fun in June.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Looks pretty good. Glad to see so many half miles

I will skip Kamp this year, two years of eating dust is enough for me. Logistics make no sense, which is typical. Wonder if they are going to run against the Joe James/Pat O'Connor race again this year? (this is one of my favorite races and last year it was a stock car fest) :thumbsdown:

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I am torn about Kamp. Yeah, the dust and the rocks were a pain, but I have to say that I probably got some of my best pictures there. And the heat race with Levi sliding his way to the front was one of the best heat races of Sprint Week.

Kamp example:

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

as far as brownstown goes i posted the question lastnight on brownstown's website why no usac sprints in 09 and tim keithly (the promoter) said that the were told if the ran a regular show in 08 that they would get a sprintweek show in 09 and as he stated in the reply they had a change in management and didnt get a sprintweek show so they decided to sit out 09 and see what happens..you can go to www.brownstownspeedway.com and see the reply if you like

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Sounds like Brownstown wants to jump right in and cash in on what Kokomo, Bloomington, Gas City et al. have built.

Granted Kamp did the same thing but it would have been nice if Brownstown showed some support for USAC and maybe they would have been rewarded. He obviously had the fan support.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

Interesting, change of management, doesn't the fair board own that track?Here is a funny one, maybe the change was someone that posts on here not announcing there anymore:eek: No offense meant CN.
At least now I can submit my vacation schedule @work.:thumb

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

He was referring to the change of management with USAC.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I assure you I have nothing to do with USAC Sprints not being at Brownstown in 2009...

BUT.....


TBA On Midget Week......:) Thats all im sayin...ive heard things, nothing concrete...lets just cross our fingers and hope.

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

sorry should have said change in management at usac..no chris nunn's name was not mentioned in the reply anywhere

Re: USAC Sprint 2009
 

I agree its a decent schedule, I will attend the first week, but I think I will pass on the second week. I am from Illinois and I am a supporter of USAC, I just wish they would throw me a bone once in a while and give me a race in IL. I won't attend the second week because the logistics are nuts , and my lungs haven't healed from Kamp.
