Lots of interesting comments. My wife and I made the trip to Gas City last night,had a room for both nights, discounted might I add THANKS to Jiggs & I-69 Speedway. After today's cancellation, the motel so graciously refunded our money for tonight:thumb Super 8 comes highly recommended.
With this being said, would we have made the trip for a regular Friday Night show,probably not with Bloomington running also.It was a USAC two day show and thats what made it special, why I thought we 'had to go"
As others have noted, the crowd was "heavy", IMO this crowd would have been alot "lighter" without USAC.As others have said when the sprints were off the track, the stands were not as full and the lines at the concession stands and yes the bathroom were were long.
I guess if people, racers or fans, don't want to take the back seat to the Sprint Car races,maybe one should think about going. I have saw alot of good modified races, but for the most part when the sprints are done, I am outta wherever it is. Jusy my opinion.
It was great to meet Fishnman, and to see SHORTBUS, Paul, Danny Burton,Hoover and Jerry Shaw.:thumb
