Hammer and Bill,
Schedule looks good. possibly the 3-7 would be better. Let us know if we can help in any way. Scheduling against USAC eastern tour would be fine for all of us. A couple of good points brought up. The one thing you have to watch out for with a sprint week type deal is too many support classes. The fans that will travel and support all five nights will not sit through 3 or 4 or 5 support classes.
As far as Lincoln, Jacksonville, and Granite city I don't think all of you guys out their need to worry about track conditions. They all seem to have it figured out. At least every race I was at last year at all three had many classes and still very good tracks. Don't know anything about Shepps track and Canton would be tough with out some serious track prep. Hard to keep that place wet without building huge Cushion....
