Thanks Tom. Your info is greatly appreciated.

You are correct that Aussie fans who have grown up on a diet of winged racing do want to hit the big winged shows, but at the same time I'm very conscious of showcasing USAC racing to them and there is no better way than ISW.

However time away from home is also important to consider and adding an additional 5 days onto a tour which is already 37 days is too much. Despite the obvious attractions.

If Putnamville do run ISW on Thursday July 16th, then we would fly from Australia into Indy on Tuesday July 14th, watch the Brad Doty at Lima on Wednesday the 15th and then go back to Putnamville before heading across to Eldora for the Friday and Saturday.

Hopefully after that the WoO will run at Lernerville on the Tuesday as always, then hope that Lincoln in PA put on a WoO race on the Thursday and the Summer Nationals are on Fri / Sat at Williams Grove. If so everything can return to "normal", except the timing will mean the group misses the Trucks at Eldora and the Brickyard 400 in 2015.

Any further info you may glean in the future will be greatly appreciated. Booking accommodation is the biggest issue we face in this dilemma.
