Also , a side question. With what sadly looks like Grandview closing, what track do you think will pick up that Usac race? I would like to see Lernerville get it. I have gone to several Boss shows there. I enjoyed every one.
USAC ran a small tour through Ohio in June from 2002 to 2006?. It was called the Buckeye Nationals. Originally, the tracks were Attica, Fremont, Lima and Eldora. I went to all of them the first two years. The shows featured both USAC Sprint Cars and USAC Midgets. I thought the crowds were great in the beginning. Toward the end, I think the crowds had fallen off. Attica and Fremont had pulled out and only two tracks, Lima and Eldora, were left.
