The "competiton red" on lap 75 changed the complextion of the race. I think it's BULLS$IT in short track racing because it takes away the strategy's of tire management(they also let them change air pressure during the"fuelstop"), and fuel economy(they ran 100 laps many times in the Hut Hundred without stopping for fuel). Does USAC think the fans want socialism or what? Sounds unamerican to me.

Is unamerican a word?

They don't call it USUC for nothing, they try anything to "make" it a race, just like some other sanctioning bodies we all know.........can you say......... Nassuck and Indy cruse control events.

Where can I find out who won the thing??? Can't find a result post anywhere.

I think the real issue was the scheduling. Now its not really anyone's fault. MSCS, Powri, USAC and the tracks all only have so many weekends available. I'm sure at the time POWRi and MSCS schedule their shows, there was no Hut 100 on that night because of Terre Haute's uncertainty. Well by the time USAC and THAT got together on what dates they could run the shows it probably worked out that was the only good option for the Hut 100. Unfortunately that put it direct conflict with both races. Sometimes it just happens and all the people involved really can't do anything to fix the situation, especially this late in the year.

You're right superduke, I know these engines there running are way to expensive. I wouldn't even begin to get into midget racing.
I still don't know who won?
