no one seems interested in car pooling and while I have no problem with $25 tickets/ gas at 4 bucks a gal will hurt midget week big time! i'll plan on attending my home track (and what ever else I can, if there's a low, or zero percent chance of rain/ but truth be known, usac and at least one track I can think of do not show much interest in getting shows in once your there and they have your $$$$!) so I would like to hear from some of the promoters and from usac this year, as to whether they will give it their all to get shows in, or just toss up their hands and say sorry Charlie over a ten or fifteen minute rain for the midget and sprint weeks? my thoughts are/ these are two very special weeks with fans and race teams coming in from all over to support these events, fans and race teams who deserve the extra effort from both usac and the promoters! once we're there, we will sit and tailgate/ or work to make our cars faster for however long it takes, what else do we have to do? I remember the early days of the ohio sprint speedweeks (the original of these extravaganzas) and I remember some rain delays and some rather late nights of racing, but I don't remember a single rainout. they felt that these events were special and that they should be treated as something special, I see no reason why usac and the Indiana promoters cannot adopt that sort of spirit! I know that track mngmnt at Lawrenceburg will give it their all to get these shows in, but how bout the rest of yinz?
