I was hoping that the Anderson 400 could become a cornerstone event for the speedway. I attended last years program and enjoyed it. It will be interesting to see how this program is received by car owners and drivers. I know that many had concerns last year about motor issues and with this now being a USAC national event, the car count should be better.
This is probably why I have not got any ticket info. I thought I read where it was going to be 2, 200 lap races instead of one 400 lapper. This info must be wrong also.
I like you enjoyed last years race, even with a small car count there was 6 or 7 cars putting on a pretty good show.
I think where they messed up is with the mandatory pit stops. If it had been run like the Lil' 500 it would have been a more exciting show.
