I thought I heard them say it was going to be on Feb.21 & 22 but I'm not positive that is the dates.

Why hasn't USAC put there schedule out yet? Sure would make it easier for race teams to set a budget and talk to sponsors!!!!!!!!!

Ask the racetracks. Most tracks will not even discuss scheduling until the end of the year. And that goes for most sanctioning bodies.

USAC schedule will come out by PRI, as usual.

Here's an interesting banner from Hoseheads...


I'm pretty sure that puts us at Manzy Feb. 20th and 21st, then Vegas during the week (I'd assume just the first night is for USAC?), and maybe back to Perris for that weekend, the 27th and 28th of February?

I think it's safe to say Manzanita will be a National Sprint date as well now.

The Wednesday night date will allow for zero crowd at all and will give Vegas another excuse to drop USAC yet again. I'd like to know the reason for moving both shows up to Wednesday/Thursday.

It would make sense but I don't foresee Perris taking another National show with their large cutback in dates for CRA next year.

And no one is in town Wednesday night.

Thursday/Friday was the best they could ask for but making them run Wednesday night will kill the show.
