Once again Oppweld hits the nail on the head. I’m not saying the Action Track is the best facility, although I have no issues with it, but the track itself is barely rivaled. I know Tony posted that he perceives our opinions as negative but that wasn’t the intention. This program at Terre Haute is an almost guaranteed success whereas the pavement version to me is not so much. I was fortunate to have my Dad get hooked up with a USAC team back in the 70’s and I got to see what I consider to be the best of times as far as running both dirt and pavement. I see the resurrection of pavement is underway and I applaud it, but to me these races are pretty much racing for best in class. I absolutely don’t feel that way when they’re on dirt. There’s many reasons for the demise of pavement racing, first is the fact you need different cars for both. Now I’m sure someone will say it is necessary but I’m here to tell you it’s not because I’ve witnessed it as I’m sure many others on this sight have too. The second factor and will always be my biggest reason is dirt racing is more exciting about 98% of the time. Good luck to this race and to the participants, we’re just saying this event at one of the most iconic tracks in the country would be better
