Hey folks,
The link below will take you to
www.speedtv.com and the highlights package seen on "The Speed Report" last night for USAC's "Tony Hulman Classic" and "The Night Before the 500" events.
It's good to see USAC on SPEED anytime we have the opportunity to do so anymore. Please drop them a line and let them know how much you enjoy seeing USAC highlights on the "SPEED REPORT". Perhaps they will show us more in the future...You can contact them here:

Here is the address where you can find the highlights package:

My favorite part of the segment is where Bob Varsha points out the obvious; that "the cameraman needs a new place to stand". Indeed. Terre Haute needs to provide a suitable position for videographers so that they can cover their events properly, now that the tower in turn 1 has been "condemned". The "powers-that-be" at the "SPEED REPORT" have been made aware of it, and were not exactly pleased. We were lucky to still get highlights on the show from that event. Between all the teasers, the segment that aired on the show, and the highlights they showed on "Wind Tunnel", Terre Haute and ORP both received several minutes of free exposure on prime-time nationwide television, courtesy of the United States Auto Club. ORP provides a nice platform to shoot from, while Terre Haute no longer does. That will have to be rectified if they hope to get such exposure in the future.
A more in-depth highlights package will be up of the "Night Before the 500" within the next 24 hours at
