Jul 11 Kokomo, IN Kokomo Speedway

*Jul 15 Terre Haute, IN Terre Haute Action Track* Maybe
or

Jul 16 Putnamville, IN Lincoln Park Speedway
Jul 17 Bloomington, IN Bloomington Speedway
Jul 18 Haubstadt, IN Tri-State Speedway

So my wife and I have been to the first 3, now the question is first 3 again or this year the last 3 maybe 4 pending vaction time and $$$.

Either way look forward to meeting up with some if not all of the L-burg crew again.

Oh and still an open invite to the L-Burg crew for the Eastern Storm.:22:

Can't go wrong. If you haven't seen the second weeks tracks though You must see them at some point. Up to you. Have fun..

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

Now that the O'Connors are running Gas City I don't believe that there is any doubt. You know that Kokomo will be good and now Gas City should be much better than it has been. All in all, that should be a much better weekend. Throw in Terre Haute if you can. Since the O'Connors and Bob Sargent have taken it over, there has been great improvement. Another positive is that the Kokomo and Gas City tracks are only about 30 or so miles apart. That lets you stay in Kokomo and have a short drive to Gas City.

Oconners,as your loading the pick up for Gas City don't forget the pork chop grill

I usually do the whole week. And don't think you can go wrong with either weekend. The second weekend has a lot less travel for 4 races.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

Do the first three shows.

If you can only do one I'd do the 2nd weekend,like AB said less traveling and since I live in southern Indiana I end up close to home!if you've never been to TSS you need to get there! But you can't make a wrong choice....unless the weather is bad.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

I sure wish Terre Haute was on a Saturday Night, and made the finale.
You have to go to Terre Haute...great racing.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

More racing and less driving the second week at all new tracks. Easy decision to me. Have a central base and stay at the same hotel every night. Good luck and enjoy!

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

sprints on a halfmile is my favorite, still say they need more halfmile dirt tracks in the state of indiana.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

Tamati, how about we count two laps as one lap on quarter-milers and then we'll have more half-mile tracks than a Quaker has oats. Just a thought, though not a deep one.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

Coming from PA i do the first weekend, Stay in or near Gas then that way I get to the room first and check in then i base from there. It also makes it easy to swing down to l-burg and then onto home. You also can't go wrong with the track combo either.

I still believe a big dirt half mile on the perimeter of Indianapolis for special events would be a good investment.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

I am sure to be verbally bludgeoned by the masses for bringing this up in this thread, and stating the obvious, but the King's Royal Weekend is, as always, scheduled during ISW. Only this year, Eldora and the WoO have moved the dates back a week, so said event will conflict with the SECOND weekend of ISW vice the FIRST weekend as in year's past. I was sad early on to note that the moving back of the KR made it to where I would not be able to go, BUT, I am still free for the weekend before. So, Kokomo & Gas City it will be for me! I suggest the same for you, too, '857.

What a Plan B I "fell into" this year! :D

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

Thanks for all the thoughts.

As far as Terra haute, I watch sprints on a half mile every week all summer long. Plus the eastern storm at Port Royal witch is a 1/2 mile in my back yard:). Most eveyone that has raced it during the Storm says its almost the twin to Terra haute. So not a big disapoinment if I don't get there, but also would be a big plus to visit that track anyway. Terra haute is pending how much vacation time I have to use.

I also get the point about the "other" races the second half of the week. We might get to see extra drivers the first half that won't go to the second week because of racing the "other" races.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

Do whatever you want but as for me and my opinion the 2nd week and being at the finally is really good! T.H.A.T., LPS, Bloomington and TSS are 4 cant miss tracks and races to see. So if you have done the first two last year go outside the box do the last 4 this year! :)

Got to go to Terre Haute. Went last year and it changed my perception of "fast". Just mind blowing the speeds they can get up to and still slide it through the corner.

Re: ISW descision any thoughts?
 

They could do a whole episode of bikes, biffs and bails on Terre Haute alone.
