Usac doesn't give a rats @$$ about THEIR racers & FANS. They still get a paycheck..for now.. USAC will not cancel ISW for excessive heat its their PREMIER division. Calling all poweri officals. Head East & start a sprint series!

Usac made the right call, not only the heat but a lot of concern about the track. Most all teams support this decision.

Was looking forward to adding a new track to the list tonight but I guess it's off to Pville tonight instead.

Is the track smaller than Tulsa ? I wish the welding shop I work for would cancel work for this heat.

I didn't see any safety issues with the trackThe berm between the dirt track and pavement track is smaller then the cushion at most Indiana dirt tracks.Temp is 12 degrees cooler up here today.

Unbelievable! Complaining about the track before turning a lap on it. Wasn't it made clear that it was a 1/5 mile track. Track has had tons and tons of water on it. I'm sitting here looking at it under nice shady cloud cover. Track is fine and we will do our best to keep the track tacky.

NO, USAC knows they will make money on that event regardless if it's 75 or 105

How would you have a idea what your butts in the seat count would be at 1 in the afternoon? What were the stands like last night? 35,000 plus people at the outdoor motocross at Buchanon Mich (watching it live on versus channel at the moment) a hour north of the track. Doesnt seem to have hurt there crowd at all!

Everybody can head this way and party at my house tonight, then take a short 2 hour ride to Angell Park tomorrow for USAC midgets at the Prairie! Or maybe it will be cancelled for being to cold, tomorrow's high is only 85 here!

I'm only being a comedian so don't take that statement seriously.

Was the track just built last night?
There is no way USAC could have known it was going to be hot today!!
Why does USAC always get the blame!
