JEE-ZUS! Come on already with the highway pounding during sprintweek. Terre Haute on Wednesday, then ALL the way up to Kamp on Thursday, then ALL the way BACK down to Bloomington on Friday? Does anyone care about logistics? How about being efficient? A huge WASTE of time on the scheduling! I can't imagine that Kamp and Terre Haute would mind if they flip-flopped nights near the end of the week. I'll book a room in Terre Haute and stay there on Thursday night and let you have the Kamp "dustbowl" to yourselves. An outdoor pool and some rest and relaxation is far cheaper than driving 400 miles because USAC can't tell North from South!!! Otherwise, I love it! Can't wait for 2009!
In response to this post i think it is actually great scheduling. You go to Terre Haute wednesday, then kamp, b-town, and tri-state. For those who stay in hotels like most all the drivers do or teams... You get a room at one hotel for 3 nights as opposed to having to book hotel rooms at 3 different places. race at terre haute.. stay there. go to kamp roughly hour and half race and come back to terre haute for the night.. then you have like an hour drive to b town the next day. then back to terre haute.. then the last night when u have the longest drive your half way there with your room in terre haute and have a shorter drive to tri state.... as a former mechanic on a team it is nice to not have to check in and stay at diffferent hotels every night.... having one hotel for 3 nights is much nicer... plus u can normally get better rates when staying for more than one night...this schedule is reflecting by having a former racer working in USAC...McCord who understands what is nice for the race teams and drivers to get the most rest. 2 thoumbs up to USAC:thumb:thumb :usacfan also for the out of town fans it helps them the same way....
