If I get this new job at work, I will have to take time off to go to weekend races, but I get to go to Thursday Friday races. Excited to possibly see a new track next year (Bloomington) possibly and see Sprint week at LPS.

My first visit to LPS was in the late '90s while I was doing a trade show in Indy. One of my colleagues had a rental car and I talked him into driving over there. (He had never seen a sprint car race - and it was my first non-wing race) . It was a great show, and while I've only been back a couple of times since, it remains one of my favorite tracks. It deserves to be on the Sprint Week calendar, and I hope I can make it back for the event. Thanks to USAC and to Joe Spiker for adding it.

Well allow me to sound negative!!!!!.... This stinks!!!!!!!!!! Brownstown is more competitive than 5 of the other tracks .. including that thing that replaced it!!!!!!!! What gives??????.................... PS... This site wouldn't allow me to use the exact words i wanted.....

Re: Indiana Sprint Week returns to LPS
 
Yeah but they don't drive water trucks into the path of a already started heat race either.

You sprint car fans that only go to Brownstown once a year have no room to talk. Brownstown gave you one bad experience out of the two times you've prolly been there. I only go there a handful of times a year, but they host more big dollar shows than nearly any other track in Indiana. I've seen great racing there and I've seen boring racing there, but I still enjoyed it all. I'm glad Lps got a sprint week date, but there is no reason to drop Brownstown, last I checked there was two open days in sprint week. And don't even say its too hard on the teams, if you think sprint weeks hard look up the ump summernationals.

if you don't like it then don't go to it that is easy

Other than dust and a water truck endangering the racers. I've had no complaints of any NW sprint show I've seen at Brownstown. The racing was stellar!

How about that dry slicky USAC raced on at PVille year ago September last? It was still a good race but I don't get the bash every track but the home track mentality?

Im glad Putnamville got the date, they are not afraid to put some moisture in the track. To make it the Best Sprint Week, let's add North Vernon and Paragon back in the mix. North Vernon for the great racing and Paragon, because a regular Indiana Sprint Track, should get a date for Indiana Sprint Week.

I have no problem with Paragon, They were involved from the beginning of Sprintweek. The only problem I see them having is parking. Put 200 campers and there will be no parking left. You have to have the room or I don't see how you can even want the date. As for Twin Cities, They need to upgrade. The racing can be great, but the program is not efficient. If they could step up their game that could be good stuff.

So there was not a conspiracy amongst the other promoters? ;):5::8:
It will be good to have a reason to go to Beautiful Downtown Putnamville.
