TnT Sprint Bandits was Emmett Hahn's deal, and it must not have made sense to continue with the series, either due to attendance or car counts. Or the ASCS people were just spread too thin. I was very disappointed when he confirmed to me at the Chili Bowl that there would be no Sprint Bandits in 2011. I went to two of the shows last year (Creek County and Lakeside, and while there were a handful of quality cars at both shows, the bulk of the fields were made up of local 360 runners. That's not a huge handicap at Creek County, but it's more difficult for them to be competitive on Lakeside's half mile.
