T. Funk the only problem with not running against the other ISW dates is the tracks that would get a during the week date that run a Fri/Sat weekly show. They would not run sprints two nights. But an ISW date should be worth it. Also it should be require that all ISW date only get 1 support class or Focus maybe.

Maybe ISW should become a bidding for the events. Pay the most and pick your day. That would be interesting to see what tracks would step up. Might increase travel but would grow the series and it's stature.

The old days before support classes, USAC use to blow into a track and they were the only class and downtime short and sweet. They were King and put on a show worthy each time. Remember Terre Haute on a summer day, chusin and no dust watching Parnelli, A,J, Herk, Branson, Larson and the boys from the infield. Cars pitted in the infield so between races you could watch or talk with the drivers and crews.

Anyway it's a great event each year and needs to grow, paying more to the drivers.
