Are time trials neccessary at USAC Sprint Car dirt events?
Can USAC put on just as good of show without time trials?

More than three or four races on a swing starts to wear the teams down. Remember that they can only take so much equipment. The tour to PA is great, and with a tweak or two it could be even better. The Southeast should be pavement only - but there are some really good pavement tracks in VA, NC, GA, and FL. I was pleading for a Lucas Oil, Ozark, Granite City, and/or Pevely trip for last year, but it doesn't look like USAC sits well with those places. A Northeast pavement trip would be nice. Otherwise, things aren't bad. Another thing to remember is that going to a terrible track/facility doesn't get anybody anywhere. There's no need to schedule races just to add races - they should all be destinations that make people want to travel.
Time trials are a must with USAC. The show would not be the same without them. It's hard to find a good time-trail midget show anymore - and I really love to see that!
