26 cars are starting but if all 29 do show up, USAC will probably start them all. If there's only 4 or 5 cars that arent going to make the race, they usually start them anyway.

Yes Robert will be in the 125.

Best place to watch the Champ Cars there is. Big enough to race really great, but not so big that you can run off and hide like the miles.Also you actually see a real cushion. Defiantely worth going to and the weather should be perfect.
Here are a couple of shots from 2008. Darland and Jones in the 2 car shot. Jesse Hockett qualifying in the single car shot.

I agree, THAT is the best place for SC cars. The miles are historic and I like them, but there isn’t going to be side by side racing lap after lap. Eldora can be good or bad, track wasn’t that good a couple weeks ago. I think THAT is the best and I’m sure it will be prepared well.

Darland and Coons had a great battle in the '08 race. I remember DD's right rear almost hitting the end of the turn 4 wall the last 20 laps….could have been more. The cushion was that high and he had to hit the mark perfectly each lap to keep Coons behind him. It was a great race. That’s where I’m heading Saturday.

As was brought up, I hope a good crowd shows up. People *****, piss, and moan when a race is rained out and not made up. Here is your chance. Weather looks good so show up if you can.

I think I went to that race. It was rained out and rescheduled if I remember correctly. Sponsored by M A B paints? I had (still have?) the event T-shirt.

Once again I am not looking anything up, just usung my lousy memory.

Just a heads up to anyone coming. Saturday is Indians States homecoming. If you need a hotel room, your probably out of luck. At least from what I've been told. Traffic may be a little worse and restaurants a little more crowded so give yourself plenty of time.

How was the weather for a November 2nd race in Indiana?

Some of my earliest memories, I can remember a few Sammy Sessions Memorials at Winchester around that time of year that were brutal, on the rare occasion that they did run.

We've seen several really great Silver Crown races at Terre Haute over the years. A lot of times someone will set up for the very bottom and someone else will run the cushion and they have run side by side lap after lap for the lead. I remember Tony Stewart gettin' her sidways under the flagstand in Ziggy's and A.J.'s beautiful black Champ Car. I also never leave Terre Haute without first recalling fond memories of Larry Rice. I really hope to be able to make the 3.5 hour (one way) drive over to The Action Track for this one.

I don't recall what the weather was like for the THAT SC race that day. But some of those Snowball races at Winchester were COLD, and a couple of them were pretty nice weather. November weather in Indiana is really anybody's guess.

Has anybody heard the ticket prices or who to call?
