Please don't let USAC screw this up. Their recent history ie Terre Haute last month shows they can screw up a one car parade. POWRI and Tri-City are class orginazations but USUC is questionable. :15:

I was told Mr. Gundaker wanted to take tomorrow to make sure the track is ready to go for Thursday, because it has received a lot of water. My source mentioned nothing about a USAC conspiracy theory to sabotage their own event.
