Well John, just to be clear I was very much critical of races run against the Corn Belt National’s. But I didn’t mean that local tracks hundreds of miles away should shut down, I meant that sanctioned races should not be held against it, like MSCS. For the betterment of big time non wing racing it would be good to have all the players on board. As far as Plymouth is concerned, Richie pretty much spelled it out. Race was scheduled unchanged for months, why would you go against it knowing it’s your same fan base and competitors? And pay more than a regular show on top? Why didn’t Gas ask for the date that I96 had to give up which was today? Why didn’t Kokomo come on board too and have a nice little weekend with 3 tracks within 90 miles of each other running USAC? That would have benefited both the tracks and fans. I enjoyed the Plymouth race just fine, just saying with a little forethought and cooperation it could’ve worked better for everyone
