I don't mean to put a damper on this , but its' afair board, not just one person. We'll have to see what the whole board has to say. I can say it is ok that they'll run there, just have to see who is going to run the deal FOR SURE.

As for Tommy and his track prep, I'll never complain, that is one place where you know what your getting before you leave for the track. A spectacular show that you'll talk about for weeks.

Personally I thought that the track prep last year by the O'Connors was the best I have ever seen at THAT.

It will be interesting to see how USAC plans on promoting THAT. If they just schedule races and hope/expect fans to show up, that won't work. They need to put together a great effort to attract a group of new fans to go along with the old guard that shows up no matter what.

They need to get the website up and running to help promote as quickly as they can. Glad to hear that someone is interested in keeping racing at Terre Haute. Changing promoters every couple of years though isn't a real positive statement.

Any idea on when the MSCS race would be held?

I know of a group who'd like to run the program there, and they DO know promotion. If they end up with it in the end there will be absolutely NO complaints from anyone on this board. Like I said earlier, the fair board wants races there, let's see who they choose.

Talked to the same fair board member last night and he watched the contract get signed with usac. Four usac races and one mscs race.... don't know any other details yet.
