I'll be surprised if the Hartford /Plymouth choice affects more then three or four cars either way. Most of the MTS guys don't want to run the big halfs any way. And I don't blame them. Most of those guys (remember, we run with them from time to time) don't want to chance breaking their only motor just to say they ran USAC. As far as the pay, I believe USAC pays $400 to start for a non-member. I believe somebody stated that USAC pays as much to start as MTS does to win. Although we have never won a MTS race, I'm pretty sure they pay more then $400 to win.
We will be making a choice for this weekend, but not the one you would think. PDP Racing will be pulling into South Bend Motor Speedway to run with the HOSS series. When was the last time you heard of three sprint car races with in a hour of South Bend! I must be in heaven!
