I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but did any of you look at the logistics of the TNT Tour schedule? Not including the Iowa race, the travel distance between Lucas Oil track on Monday till the end at Lakeside on Saturday is close to 1200 miles! Mapblast.com says it’s more than 18 hours of drive time & that doesn't include stops for gas, food & restroom breaks. Makes me wonder how many cars & fans will make the whole tour? I know when I attended the TNT deal two years ago, I didn't do all of them. I picked the dates that made travel sense to me, which was Lucas Oil & two nights at Lakeside, then I flew back to Kokomo on Sunday night to see Brady Bacon win his first USAC midget feature, then it was back to Central PA on Monday morning.
Truthfully, I think my August trip this year will be USAC Midget week, not TNT, as it’s hard to beat a sprint/midget double header on the bullrings of Indiana. That, and the fact that Greenwood, NE & the OK tracks looked like dry slickies from last years video. I will however miss Lakeside though as that place ROCKS!
So many races, so little (vacation) time, what’s a race fan to do?
