Agreed.
Better yet, bring back the Fall Harvest Classic 2-day show that used to run in October!

Certainly glad I was able to witness this event. The racing was great all evening, with even the heats providing great competition. Yes we had not only a full moon, but a super moon, so it was only fitting that we had super racing. The program ran smoothly, with the exception of the pileup at the start of the modified feature. I've attended races at Terre Haute since 1967, and I'm hard pressed to think of a better one ever. Glad to see such a large turnout of fans. After all the rainouts, Bob Sargent and his group deserves it. I was one of the first few cars out the front gate, and arrived home before 10:00PM. Couldn't ask for a better ending to the midwestern USAC sprint car season!

Thought racing was pretty great all night, weather was even better. Had a blast for my first time there....ever.

Mildly off topic. Anyone know who the track photographers were last night?

It was a great way to end my race season. Kokomo/Action track. Saw a lot of friends I won't see till next spring more than likely. The only hiccup I had was it took me almost 5 hrs to get from Kokomo to the Terre Haute. I though I was going to see some covered bridges and didn't realize how many people attended that fest. Stopped at the south end of Racoon lake for a while then got lost thinking I could just go south and west. Ended up in Greencastle but saw a lot of nice country and made hot laps.

I also tried to attend this Covered Bridge Festival aka "Worlds Largest Flea Market", before taking in Terre Haute. Never again will I make that mistake.
