We were lucky enough to attended 5 Silver Crown races last year which is about 40% of the schedule. Like Bob, I believe that was a record for us, too.
Belleville being on the Silver Crown schedule again in 2015 just may be enough to coerce us into doing The Belleville Nationals weekend again. With both the Silver Crown and Midget divisions running it makes the decision to embark on the 9 hour journey West a bit easier to make. Sure wish they could coax a few more cars to Kansas but it's not hard to understand why some teams can't justify pulling out there. Last years' race on The Highbanks was pretty dramatic with The Bear running out of fuel with a 30 car length lead with just a few laps to the checkers.
All in all it's a pretty good schedule. If we had our way we'd have them running Terre Haute twice instead of IRP (sorry, it'll always be IRP to me) twice but that would be the only minor change we'd have in mind.
Hopefully Andy and and the division finds a way to pick up some more momentum.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
