a place like DuQuoin has a lot going for it already; the night race, the fair, the tradition...

Terre Haute has some similar positives besides the fair, but when we start talking about Sedalia, Tulsa, OKC, Knoxville, the Grove...(which I would love to see champ cars at all those places)...it's going to take some creative scheduling, marketing, and maybe even packaging of support races with the champ dirt cars, in order to put enough butts in the stands to pay for the deal.

If the series could get several 1/2 miles on the schedule, then that would make the dirt miles even that much more special. The diversity would be cool...

Iowa, 7/8 pavement
Sedalia, 1/2 dirt
Richmond, 3/4
Indy, 1 mile dirt
Knoxville, 1/2 (or is that 5/8) dirt
ORP, 1/2 pavement
Springfield, mile dirt
DuQuoin, mile dirt
Terre Haute, 1/2 dirt

now we're getting a schedule
