In May the Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series wing cars had 26 or 27 on hand.
USAC, I don't know.
But if anyone ever wanted to see both on the same track same night, here it is.
As for the track, maybe it makes sense to pave the half mile, then run construction equipment across it to do the infield. Just not to the Thompsons who are paying the bill...
This is the first of a three part renovation at Salem, and while I can appreciate your sense of nostalgia and desire for it to remain the way it was, the car counts and support to race the big track every week has gone away. The smaller track opens up new opportunities for Salem to make revenue (or not close, if that sounds clearer). Taking a big chance on renovating a speedway right now isn't happening very many places.
