If Terre Haute wasn't 303 miles from my house I would be at them shows. The travelers on here understand how important it is to support your local track. You Hoosiers don't quite understand how lucky you are. Weather can ruin a season for a track. My hometrack rained out for practice last week and tomorrow doesn't look any better.

The deal is not yet finalized, but the Sumar Classic will be a USAC-promoted race this season. Thus, the race has not been added to their schedule and Terre Haute is not selling tickets for the event just yet. Rest assured that there will be a USAC Silver Crown race at Terre Haute on Wednesday, July 21st.

Obviously there has been some confusion leading to Terre Haute failing to convey this message. Hopefully that has all been worked out and they will be assisting in making the Sumar a great show. Luckily, though, the Sumar is back for this year - but it will definitely take the support of us all to make sure it comes back year after year.

Well unless im somehow wronged, Thats the only reason I wouldn't go back to a track. Eldora dissed me with that dustbowl and cancellation on a perfectly clear day. I won't be going back there this year but I made a effort to go. In that case I don't see the track in Danger of not being there next year. Thats Eldora.

As for THAT?? I have to races under my belt there and I don't care if there was one a year. ITS A RACE ID STRIVE TO MAKE!

If you want the Sumar Classic to be a success, why would you schedule it mid-week? That will cut down on the out of town crowd.

Must be relying on the NASCRAP fans to flood the main gates. Apparently the Action Track doesn't care or they would be giving information to fans who inquire about tickets. USAC hasn't done anything that I have seen except post it on the Silver Crown schedule. How can anyone think this will be a success when the only mention of it is on the IOW forum? It has been two months since Spridge originally said that it was a go. Still nothing to announce officially. If they wait another two months to do anything, the race will be one week away.

Four races are not enough, but I will make all of them if possible. Don't complain to much or the fair board may have a change of heart, if you support the track it will only help things get better. It was not that long ago that they almost sold out to a mall building company.

How i would love another Fall Harvest Classic 2 day show.

Couldn't agree more. People like us search out races. The majority of non race fans might stumble upon a race and go, but they need to be informed.

Like it or not hardcore race fans are the minority. With a bad economy and the problems commercial real estate is going to go through, this may save some historic racetracks from being made into big box stores or sub divisions.
