Chris that is a good point of why run against ISW.

Last week LPS ran their regular local show against Gas City, both tracks had 44 cars and Paragon [which you didn't mention as running against ISW] had 38 cars. Waynesfield had near 20 too.

That's 146 cars that raced on Saturday.

So it hasn't hurt car counts at all. Good quality cars at the USAC ISW events, lowest has been 38 I think?

Plus if all tracks shut down sprint car racing for ISW what would the other 102 cars do?

I know you have been around and know that many sprint teams don't run USAC because they feel their equipment isn't equal, don't want to pay the extra fees for a race or two and drivers are required to have a head restraint.

Now lets talk about the KISS series that when Gerry Olsen first put it together all tracks agreed not to run against each other. Well that has changed as well.

Needless to say things have changed in racing. USAC has their 24 hour rule in effect to ensure they have the top drivers.

Lots of racers and race fans should really come to LPS and give the new Ownership at Putnamville a chance.
See for yourself.
Come to the track and take a look at the changes that have been made to the pits, track, stands, landscape and all of the class payouts have been increased.
Track officals have been enhaced as well with Brian Hodde the Flagman, Leroy from Gas City in the pits and more to come.

The USAC fans will travel to their favorite ISW events and I'm sure some choose to attend another event cause it's closer to home or can't afford to gas and extra money and stay home to watch sprints at Paragon, Putnamville or Waynesfield. 7 ISW races x $20 X 7 Gas & Food, not a lot of fans have that much to spend to attend ISW.

As far as what USAC thinks? ask Kevin Miller or Jason Smith & McCord they seem to be very happy with the New management. LPS had a rain out May 1st sprints, Indiana Midgetweek June 17th and added July 24th plus the September 10th Sprintrace. So I think USAC is happy.

Yes I am a Putnamville Homer and proud of it !
No I'm not mad just pointing out the facts.


ps- Dickie ran LPS and won last Saturday instead of hauling north to ISW. Less miles and a win.
