Great way to open the track back up again.:thumb:

I really like some of the things Mike King was saying, in that story, a week or so ago. These guys really care about the place and I can't wait for this era of the Action Track to begin. It was a good week for King's promoting partner, this week, too:

Dwight, I believe that we will in fact get our wish for an MSCS race @THAT. MSCS schedule should be out around Feb. 4th:thumb:

Thanks I am looking forward for THAT to reopen just like everyone else.:thumb:

You know what, after this season, converting full time may not be a bad idea

Talked with Mike King today and he said 6 races this year. 1st in May MSCS and Hulman Classic day before Carb day. Woo on 4th of July, Sumar late July none in August and Hut 100 in September, day show.
He said in 2 weeks they will make an official announcement. Plus a motorcyle race on Moto GP weekend.

The words Day Show, and Terre Haute brings back nightmares of the last day show I attended there.

It was the day after the Million to win at Eldora...

$10,000 to win Late Models, I was working the backstretch for Northern Allstars, there was no cushion, one big black streak of rubber, and NO passing...burnt my hand trying to pull sheet metal off of the right rear of one of the cars. Went right through my glove, thats how hot the right rears were that day. Bob Pierce won by 3/4ths of a track.

Hopefully they have a solution ready for a day race. Looking forward to returning to THAT

THe AMA Flat Track Bikes are scheduled on Saturday night, Sep 13@Indiana State Fairgrounds, Indianapolis, Ind. I wonder if TH is looking for a Saturday night show to complete the weekend.

I remember the midgets running the Hut as a day show into the early 90's. It seems like dust was a problem.
