Gas City or Hossier Hundred????
 

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are. Im coming down from Wisconsin and don't get to see non-winged sprints that often so I was kinf od leaning towards Gas City. Checked results from a couple weeks ago and only had enough cars to do 3 heats. Then on the other hand, there is the Hoosier Hundred which I went to last year. What is everyone's opinions on what I should check out? I won't be disappointed at either venue, but I'm having a real hard time making up my mind....

Hoosier 100

rare treat to see a mile dirt with dirt champ cars. get a pit pass, park in the infield and watch the 100 miler from the main stands.:23:

Hoosier 100! There will always be another sprint car race!

I agree! 100% Hoosier hundred.

You can fo see a sprint car race in Wisconsin!

I don't get to see sprint cars to often either. I've also been to the Hoosier Hundred and Gas City.

Some points to consider are do you care who you see racing at Gas City, since a lot of those guys may be racing the mile.

Did you think the mile was a train race last year? (I wasn't there, not saying it was.)

Did you spend the night in the grandstands or out in the infield, do the opposite if you go this year.

If you go to the mile, you could definitely hit the Indy lights race earlier in the day if that interests you. In fact you may be able to hit IMS and gas city in the same day.

I know a lot of people get race drunk and make it seem like the mile and crown cars are like a magical fairytale.

Not sure either will be great racing, but I vote for the Hoosier 100. If you like memorabilia, the National Auto Racing Memorabilia Show (www.narmshow.com) is close to the track on Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday. (Disclaimer-I have nothing to do with the show, I just enjoy going there every year.) They have some Indy veterans, many of whom also drove midgets, sprints and dirt champs back in the day, available for autographs every year for what I think are very reasonable fees.

Hoosier Hundred if at all possible. We need to put butts in the seats to show USAC & Bob Sargent that we indeed want to keep this form of racing alive. We can go to Gas City next Friday night.

Gas city!! Been to the 100 the past 2 years. Not enough passing for me. Best part is seeing who will and won't change tires. Cost to much to get in. Better bang for your buck at I69 With double the action. If your here for the 500 head to kokomo Sunday night..

The Hoosier 100! And it doesn't cost but 10 or 15 bucks to do the infield. No 50 lap break this year. A great race not to be missed.

Indy lights then 1/4 midget at the Fairgrounds then Hoosier Hundred = racing all day. You can see USAC sprints next month in your home state at Wilmot and Sun Prairie!

I go with the HH. There are only a handful of those races a year. Can't go wrong either way though.

Re: Gas City or Hossier Hundred????
 

For me, the choices are Bloomington or Hoosier Hundred, and I'm leaning toward the Hoosier Hundred, especially since they won't be stopping at lap 51 to change tires.

Re: Gas City or Hossier Hundred????
 

I am choosing to go to the 100 this year and giving it 1 last chance. I have not been for a few years, but I would not recomend it to anyone based on the 2 races I have seen (train races). Gas City would be my recomendation for someone coming in from the outside. Bloomington would not be a bad option either. The last time I was at Gas City on 500 weekend it was a great show. No I could not tell you who most of the drivers were, but those guys were driving there buts off. I would say several were driving harder because they knew it was one of there best chances to get a win in lesser equipment. If you want to say you have seen a silver crown race go to the fair grounds. If you want the best chance to see good racing, go to gas city.
