Shumans Group runs IL, MO. Where did you see that about USAC?

[spot1]

Charles, it was on Eagle Raceway's facebook page. They announced the Shuman's WAR group is going to run at Eagle in September and it will be the only time to see non-wing racing this year as USAC is not scheduling any events West of Illinois. Just repeating wat I read......................

Oval Nationals in Cali are west of Illinois. Hold your horses and wait for the schedule due out next week.

.....and how many tracks west of Illinois did they race at last year? Not 100% sure, but I think the answer is 3 with one of those tracks closing its doors.

In addition to BMS (Badlands), the Sprint Cars raced at Jackson Motorplex (Minn.), Eagle Raceway (Neb.) and Lakeside Speedway (Kansas City, KS). I know for a fact that Eagle was figuring on having a race in 2017 again. The Midgets ran a few more different racetracks West of Illinois, too.

So back to this place. I saw where they now have an abbreviated schedule this season but they just released a schedule for 2018...a bit early for that isn't it?

On the other hand, the place is really nice and any racing is good racing to me so I hope it all goes down as planned. Just odd.

This is a waste of time. Want all the who cares dirt? It has beaten to hopefully a merciful death on Hoseheads where name calling supercedes thoughtful discussion.

There's typically more thoughtful discussion on here in one thread than the other website has in a month. That's why I don't go on there.

That said, I was simply asking why a track would push out a 2018 schedule...in March of 2017?
