There it is, the word "SHOW". Even if the race isn't the greatest they step it up to make it a "SHOW" unlike other series. I had 3 newbies with me Tuesday and the only other sprint car event they have ever attended was at the USAC race at Eldora earlier this year. Their comparison was interesting. One of them had this to say,"If USAC would strive to promote the race from start to finish and continue to keep it built up throughout the night like the outlaws do then USAC would by far be the best out of the 2 do the racing. Unfortunately they just fall short of making their races an "event". This individual is the head of Sports Marketing for one of the biggest colleges in the country that is based out of South Bend. So for him to be impressed with the Outlaws spoke volumes to me. I wish I could have taken him to the Terre Haute WoO "SHOW" I think they would have enjoyed it.
usac is a sanctioning body not a promoter.its the promoters job to make a "event" out of it.
