Alright, I've never been to Putnamville, Indiana... let alone the speedway

Thinking about coming over next Friday night for the USAC race

Give me your info/thoughts/advice

- car count?
- normally, a good track surface?
- track in the middle of town?, outside of town?
- is it a fairground track, i.e. covered grandstand?
- any good locally well known eating establishment we should should check out?

thanks!

Tonight at LPS they had 36 Sprint cars. As for location, I came from tH and went through Brazil and probably didn't hit Putnamville. LPS is not a fairgrounds or covered. They have a hill with concrete and wood benches in it. I don't know how to explain the track with the exception of saying it was very little dust. The sun will be on your back until about 7pmish and then it is behind the trees.

Possible, but doubtful...

Putnamville is one that I've never been to and would like to make someday.
