Indiana fans should be proud to be able to go to events at Lincoln Park, Bloomington, Tri-state and Terre Haute. Great facilities, nice staff, know how to work a track when needed, and good food at each. Really give a thumbs up to the tenderloin at Terre Haute!

Suggestions for 2025:
1) Add non-wing sprints as lone support class each night. This would expand the attendance from the non winged fans who could get exposed to winged racing and vice versa. I saw many complaining online of the $30 price for attendance but that is only $5 more than a USAC show and much larger purse was paid.
2) Have set race format that is consistent night to night
3) Thursday was a tough sell for the fans, maybe a 3 night weekend is enough but not sure what track I would get rid of as I liked them all?
4) Promotion needs improved, more on social media and local advertising. Many people did not know the event was going on

Lets do it again in 2025

I will never understand the wing hatred. I enjoy both. I have a ton of respect for the drivers that are able to run well in both. Field quality was GREAT!
