On th SCRA message board there has been much discussion lately about trying to get a CA Spint Week, either for 360's or National USAC 410s

Do you think there would be any interest from car owners, drivers and fans from the midwest to have a CA sprint week.

Already in Spring they have dates in Az, Las Vegas and Perris. In the fall their is the 3 day Oval Nationals and one night in Tulare. (Also the midgets have five dates close together centered around Turkey night with a $10K to win feature at Ventura.

Suggesions have been to cancel Las Vegas, (nobody mentioned AZ or forgot about them). Than to run Fri at Ventura, Sat. at Perris and Sunday at Victorville.

The following week run at Santa Maria Fri, Tulare Sat and Sunday at Hanford.

Maybe an early Spring. late winter date would work before the racing gets started in the Midwest.

Personally I have no problems with a Las Vegas date as it is on the way to CA, plus it is a cool city to visit. They normally run on a Wed or Thur so it would not conflict with any CA events.

What do you guys think? Is it doable? Would the midwest teams support it. Would any fans come out while it is still cold in the Midwest.

Thanks for any input!

Maybe Spridge could chime in, he's seems to have the pulse of the sport.
