Twin Cities

Sorry if this has been already been talked about.

I see on Twin Cities website they are having a $3,000 to win Sprint Car event on Tuesday, July 13. Sounds like a non-USAC event during one of the off-days of Sprint Week.

Do you think this will produce a good car count and fan turnout?

car count should be good....... should have been a usac sanctioned race. the guy was good enough to give them a midget race at the last minute when they approached him and would not give him a sprintweek race.....

Last I heard was that the other track promoters have to agree on adding a track to sprintweek so it may not be on USAC

I think fans want a race at N. Vernon. I do not recall one negative post about past sprint week races at the facility.

Sounds like if it's USAC Race or not it will be well worth the time to attend this race. Hope to see a bunch of the fans at Twin Cities.

Pretty sure USAC put on that midget race themselves?

If a track isn't willing to book a non-Sprintweek race, and doesn't want to pay a full USAC purse, then I guess that explains it all...
