THAT(s) Good News!!

Jerry Shaw · 3/1/08, 2:33 PM

I've been around this track all my life and I can NEVER remember anything of the magnitude of that press conference, yesterday. Big players, with plenty of sponsors and a definite plan. With an emphasis on families bringing their children to the races. The legendary half-mile oval has been reborn and her future looks very bright. I can't wait!

There seems to be a discrepancy between the THAT and USAC schedules.

*THAT has the Hut 100 USAC Midgets listed as Saturday, October 4th.

*USAC has it listed on their schedule as a day race on Sunday, October 5th.

If it is on Saturday, October 4th, it conflicts with the MSCS $10,000 to win finale at Lawrenceburg. I hope it is the 5th, I'd like to be at both.

The WolfPack is set to Run The Monster, and Proud to be a Part of one of the Greatest Tracks Around!!!!!!!! This Group has Big Plans for the Fans as well, starting off with a Family Pass for the Infield for just 25 dollars that will include 2 adults and up to 4 kids! To me thats a Big Step in the Right Direction,,,,,,,,,not to mention that the Cars will Pit in the Infield...... Getting Indiana State involved is another Great Move and should help infuse some young blood and hopefully Ideas...... Now, just 2 months of waiting and a whole lot of prep work and we can truly say, that the Actions Back at the Action Track.....

If I do remember correctly they did have a lot of people in the infield there last May and that should just add to the crowd at that price now lets just hope mother nature co-operates on these dates and things are headed in the right direction now.

It would also be in conflict with the final POWRi show at Belle-Clair. :thumbsdown:

I was looking forward to a nice two-fer that weekend as well. I hope this is a misprint.

Hope its on Sunday the 5th so I can stop in on the way back from Belle Clair.

Well, since my other post is gone. I will post it in here.

I am doing photography for the track (I am one of a few). For now, I do not have a flash and was wondering what kind I will need when I can get it? Would a Nikon sb 600 or sb 800 work? I have a Nikon d70s.

also, the infield concession building and infield white platform is no longer there!

Roughly 200,000 race fans will be at IMS that Sunday afternoon, Duke. The Wednesday night show is a good idea for fans in the area. USAC SC at THAT Wednesday, USAC SC at ORP Thursday, NASCAR trucks at ORP & local sprint car shows Friday, a 400 lap midget race at Anderson and NASCAR Nationwide at ORP Saturday, and the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard Sunday. Nice week if you ask me.:idea:
