USAC 2008 Nat Sprint & Midget Schedule

Dwight Clock · 12/6/07, 12:10 PM

Overall a great schedule for both divisions. A six night midget week is AOK! I noticed that Salem is scheduled for a Sunday afternoon, sprints only, 30 laps. No Joe James/Pat O'Conner event? All in all, great job Gregg Staab!

I don't know if anyone noticed this. Belleville on 8/2 then Salem sprint 8/3 then two days latter Midget week starts. Maybe it was a good idea to let the midget guys have a few days before the start of midget week to get their equipment ready. Very strong schedule of racing from July 29 thru. Aug 10th. Some of us do need to mow the yard and pet the dogs at least once a month.

I didn't get my October Winchester sprint date I've been griping about. The late-September date is a very good consolation.:usac:

Anybody notice that Larryburg is listed as a 1/4 mile and not 3/8?

Yeh, I don't like that because IF it rains out at Belleville , We will run on Sunday night (8/3) and it came real close this year to happening. And I dont like it beause it's asking a lot out of the teams to run late Saturday night at Belleville and than race at Salem the next day. ( 720 MILES ) Apart

It looks like the midgets at ORP and the midget 400 at Anderson are on the same night (7/26/08):thumbsdown:

I'm really glad to see the sprint and midget show at Joliet on Sept. 5. Talk about an under utilzed track! I am a little dissappointed that there is no dates for Granite City. Hopefully that might change.

So to go to the event on 7/26 at IRP, you have to go to the Busch race too? Yippie. Just the type of fans I look to avoid. I hope that is one of the changes.

I do like them going to some other places.
