Yeah, I talked with Bill and I met the New Promoter, Phil Richardson at the UMP Banquet. I didn;t here if he planned any Sprint Shows or not. To clarify, when I said "Off Nights" I ment that they didnt compete against the Saturday Night Tracks. Running Against Kiss and USAC was pure Jennie----us! If I recall, these shows payed a Grand to Win and what 200 to Start. Also I think that each show improved a little purse wise and Payed a Point Fund, as well as some other things. I think a Bell Helmut and maybe a Firesuit. Pretty good little deal. The small purse pretty well guranteed a good car count, because the drivers knew they probably would not have to race the Big Dawgs. Of course, that wasn;t entirly true but it was the idea. Bill knew that most of the guys at Gas City and Bloomington were not likly to come anyway and it gave the guys from Putnamville and Paragon another option. I heard Nothing but Good about these Races. In fact, these Sprints would have been on the Schedule with our next WolfPack Races. For a LateModel guy like Bill to make that call has to say a lot about how good the shows were.... I didn;t mean any offence to anyone at the other tracks. Like I said, I Hope someone Proves me wrong. There is definitly Room for this series and these drivers in Ill.......Wolfe-e
