I realize that I am a minority on here, since I live in Springfield IL, west of VCS rather than east. If it is a given that Lincoln Park must run on a Saturday night, there are no good answers for me. I love VCS as a nonwing sprint track. It is 120 miles from my house, mostly interstate, so I can drive over and drive back home. Lincoln Park is enough farther that it makes an over and back very hard. I have also done the Bloomington, VCS, Kokomo trip twice. Either is good.

If Lincoln Park must run Saturday, that leaves either Friday for VCS, which competes with Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville IL, less than an hour from my house, or Sunday. Sunday competes with Kokomo, my all-time favorite weekly show, not to mention the great specials.

My ideal weekly schedule would be Jacksonville on Friday, VCS on Saturday, and Lincoln Park on Sunday.

A great alternative has been mentioned by more than one in this thread. Don't worry about a weekly show and run when others aren't, like AERO410SCJA suggested. I thought that was an excellent idea. Fill in the gaps and run specials. That way we still have races at a well-run sprint car track and don't have as many conflicts with other tracks.

Every promoter wishes they had the problem Joe does. He has a really successful track at VCS right now and will bring Lincoln Park back to its past glory. Whatever happens, sprint car fans should celebrate. Are we in the good new days?
