I stated this in another post a while back but here it is again. I sat with Bob Sargeant while eating lunch at the IMIS show. He told me about the Thur race. Yes, some people can make it to the fairgrounds from IMS with no problem on Fri. Plenty of others stay for concerts, have intentions of going but find they have had too much to drink and say screw it. He had to take a chance. He had a sponsor lined up but they wouldn't do it if the race was on Fri because of all the activities at IMS. It also gave the race a raindate. I applaud the effort and the risk he is taking. The stands are not full. People need to realize that. He has to try something. Most people are wanting a weeks worth of racing at one time. I know it's hard on some people, but now you've got racing Wed through Sunday. I'm sure a lot of people that are normally racing Fri night will look forward to going to the race Thur. Let's give Bob every chance we can and hope the Crown series grows. He's trying to make the race better. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. But I will credit someone when they are putting forth the effort to make it better.
