The Speedrome track is larger than the RCA Dome track was.
I saw the AVSS race at the Speedrome firsthand..and I saw a clean race with passing that was interesting.
Jack Calabrase was our race director at the RCA Dome...and he was the AVSS director at the Speedrome in 2000. My decision to run HOSS at the Speedrome is based on that influence. Both events worked.
I KNOW AND RESPECT JEFF BUT THEY DON'T RUN 160 OR 170 MPH THERE! ON THE MILE DIRT TRACKS LIKE SPRINGFIELD ILL. THE CHAMP DIRT CARS WHERE FASTER THEN THE WOO CARS BY 10 MPH ON THE STRIGHTAWAYS!!:checkered:
