Terre Haute Silver Crown Schedule
 

Does anyone know for sure what the schedule will be for the Silver Crown show at Terre Haute the 3rd of July? I've looked around some and haven't found any gate opening times or when qualifying starts, etc.

Will there be any support classes running with the SC cars that night?

If it's anything like the Hulman earlier this year, they will get around to it the day of the race. I ended up calling the USAC office to get information.

I would assume (there is that word) they will do like in years past. Hot laps at 6, qualies at 7 and racing at 8.

At least I hope that is the way it goes.

Are they doing the "Twin 50's" format??? :11;

Just so I can throw it out there:
Just found out that pit gates open 8am with spectator gates at 10:30am and cars hitting the track at 11:30am and racing at 1pm!

A little over 2 hours.

Why so early on a Sunday? I know not everyone goes to church, but some of us do. Between the early start, hour drive to get to Terre Haute and the time difference between Illinois and Indiana, I guess I am going to miss my favorite race of the year. Oh well, enjoy the race everybody.

Re: Terre Haute Silver Crown Schedule
 

Maybe it is so that anyone wanting to do Silver Crowns and Kokomo Sprints can do both in the same day?

Probably, it makes sense from that point of view. How many do you think will try to do "the double"? However I don't think scheduling a race that early on a Sunday gives them the chance to snag the biggest audience. Attendance at the SUMAR hasn't been great lately anyway. I always hear about needing to attract young fans and families. Well quite a few young families attend church Sunday morning. If you live close, you could probably still make it after church. More power to USAC and THAT for a successful show, but if anyone gets on here afterwards to complain about crowd size being too small, then they won't have a leg to stand on.

Maybe TSR doing double? I really don't know who would. Though, if they run it and the Tony Hulman Classic with the Sumar, how does that affect Kokomo?

Re: Terre Haute Silver Crown Schedule
 

USAC's website has the race listed as a night race. Is there any "official" information about this race anywhere?

That's going to bring back memories for long-time Action Track fans. I know it will for me. I wish Jack was still with us, to see Sunday racing come back to his favorite track.

ISP, I saw the same thing.

I'm not saying the info here isn't correct but one would think USAC would have it all on their website since the race date is fast approaching.

Too bad TSS doesn't have a race that night. I used to do the double all the time when Terre Haute or Salem ran USAC in the afternoon. That was when TSS qualified at 7:00 and raced at 8:00. Terre Haute was on Central time then, but Salem was always on "Louisville time".
