Another track I wondered about for the SC cars was Rockingham. Would it be too fast? Probably. I'd also like to see Irwindale run SC again.

I guess you can tell I'm a pavement fan, whether it is sprint, midget or SC. You'll get no apologies from me on that.
Stafford is ideal but Thompson would, IMO, be even better. A big 5/8, it has always offered multiple grooves and plenty of passing. Rockingham would not be too fast although it wouldn't be far off from that. Tire wear could be an issue there. I would like to see it added to the schedule though. Irwindale was a little small though I'm sure that Russ Gamester wouldn't mind returning there! And, finally, Jim Morrison is right about Knoxville. Those shows were disasters that didn't have to happen.
