Here is the format and purse from the USAC entry blank.


 Drivers must draw a pill at registration (1-99), heats are lined up with lowest pill draw on the pole of the first heat, the second lowest number is on the pole of the second
heat, etc. Heat races will be 10 laps each. A redraw will be held following the heat races, the top six in passing points will redraw for starting positions 1—6 in the
feature. The driver with the most passing points draws 1st, etc.12 Pills are used! Driver drawing the lowest number gets the pole the other 5 drivers are lined up with
lowest number drawn second, third, etc.
 The top 16 in passing points earned in the heats will transfer to the Feature, positions 7-16 in passing points will start straight-up behind the top 6 according to passing
points totals.
 Drivers 17th through the balance of the field will start straight up according to passing points in the semi-feature (2 semi-features might be necessary if there are
enough cars) the top six (6) finishers will transfer to the feature (top three if two semi’s are needed) and start in positions 17—22. Semi-Feature will be 12 laps.
 Late Arrivals who do not pill draw will tag the tail of a heat and not receive passing points, just finish points, drivers not starting a heat race will receive 0 passing points.
 Heat races will be divided into equal groups of 8 to 10 cars or as close as mathematically possible. If there are 41 cars or more there will be a fifth heat race.
 If there is a scratch the row with the missing car moves straight forward.
 Each USAC car entrant and driver will receive feature points for this event, no other points will be awarded.

What's the thought on car count? I don't care if there is 20 or 40. Either way it's gonna be awesome. My guess is 36 cars. Lets get to 100 posts before a lap is even turned.

Okay! Post # 64! Go Dave Darland and Team Phillips 71P!!
And that's all I have to say about that!

Madman to take home the $$$10K!

I'm going to vote the fans win!

24 cars if we get over 25 ill be very happy dont think we have seen car counts in the 30's for two years now at tri state which I could be wrong had a few drinks in between but it doesnt matter the feature is always worth admission. Now if we get 4 heats I wont be mad

per the TSS web page......... The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint
Car Series and the United State Auto Club will once again co-sanction
this year's Haubstadt Hustler at Tri-State Speedway. This year's event on
Saturday, September 14th will be the sixth annual.
The large purse, which pays $10,000 to win, combined with the
involvement of the two sanctioning bodies ensures a quality field of
top cars and drivers. The average car count based on the five
previous races stands at 38.



All we can do is hope, but we always get quality so it really does not matter.

me and racegal have the same pic...DD around the top !!!
