It takes me less than 2 hours to drive to anywhere in Indiana, once I fly to Indy. :-)

I went to MidgetWeek and the 2nd half of SprintWeek, and hope to get back once more this year.

Tri-state(every time the run), Danville(3), Bloomington(1), Terre Haute(3 counting a race there in Sept), Tri-city(1 not counting midgets there in Oct), Creek Co.(1, week before TNT) 1hr to Haubstadt, 2hrs to Terre Haute, 3hrs to Danville, 4+hrs to Bloomington, 1hr to Tri-city,8hrs to Creek Co. I know the question was for sprinter cars but add Macon, Belleville and Du Quoin for midgets shows.

once a week on the avg. Not counting sprintweek.
3-4 times a month
150 miles (Kokomo being about the longest)
Not as much as we use to before gas prices last year and the economy now. Before these things it was alot more. Have not been to Eldora this year, in the past would have been there 2 or 3 times by now. Only two hr. drive one way.

The pas is about 50-55 miles from home. Santa maria is a good three hour drive from my home near long beach. Anyway duke, will we see you in calistoga next month?
i hope to be there with oskie and steve howard!!!!!!!
