Well midget week was USAC's call, Sprint week and KISS decisions are made by the participating track owners I believe. Obviously someone in that group doesnt like Spiker. Unfortunately the bulk of the fans would like to see Sprint week and KISS shows at Lincoln Park. SO will any of you track owners/promoters have the balls to stand up and explain why they have blackballed Lincoln Park. Dont think I'll hold my breath waiting.

Why would midget week be USAC's call but not sprint week? Seems to me they should be synonomous. I hope that Spiker being blackballed amongst other Indiana promoters isn't the case. Can't imagine why that wold be the case.

Sprint Week was invented before USAC sanctioned it. Tracks got together and started it, USAC later sanctioned it. Therefore, tracks have the final call of who’s in and who’s out (as I understand it). Midget Week was originally started by USAC. So USAC has the call on that. That would be the difference.

why would kiss schedule against hut 100 ? i mean i know there is only maybe 3 or 4 drivers that would do both if on different dates but in a fans view ?? you would think it would be a win win for everyone not knocking Dave one bit, he does a wonderful job at Lawrenceburg speedway. just a thought?

There are always going to be conflicts no matter how you schedule. However, if you check last years schedule, the Hut 100 was on Saturday May 8th. The KISS race at Lawrenceburg was on Saturday May 22nd. Dave kept the same corresponding date while USAC, POWRI and Tri State moved their date. Why blame Dave?
