I hope that Lawrenceburg and Lakeside make out well with their respective races. I would think that with Lawrenceburg now being a non points race that Dave Rudisell is a gambling man for sure.
Why does it matter, in the scheme of this thread, where I am going and/or what my traveling habits are? I must not be entitled to an opinion, seeing as how I usually only get to Kokomo and Gas City. I lived it and breathed it three nights a week for 13 years; once or twice a week is enough for me at the moment, especially considering some of the changes that have taken place in the sprint car landscape. Hope that's ok with you and your ******** buddies.
There are plenty of sprint cars to run two big shows, sure. Plenty of quality ones, even. But don't race fans want to see just as many of the big names and good rides as they can for a show like this, as opposed to losing some to the other race? That's not even a question, it's a statement of fact.
I wasn't bashing USAC, the 'Burg, Lakeside, the TNT tour or the Shuman race. Just making an observation that there aren't too many big money shows for the non-wing boys and it's a shame that these two are going to clash.
The end.
