I know you said sprint, but I would urge you to consider Indiana Midget Week. Best midget drivers in the country all in one place and sprint cars too. What's not to like? Like Dirt Man Bill, I can count, I just can't limit it to 10. In November, I know we will all wonder how we missed including an MSCS show at Haubstadt that was incredible or something at Kokomo not on anyone's list, or Lincoln Park.

1) April 28 - USAC sprints at Lincoln Park and April 29 - KISS at Kokomo
2) May 20 - Must See Sprints & supermodifieds at Winchester (I am not at all fond of pavement, but it sounds to me like this really has potential)
3) May 24 - Hulman Classic at THAT
4) May 26 - Little 500 (if you have never seen it)
5) June 5 - WoO at Kokomo
6) Indiana Sprint Week at Kokomo, Terre Haute, Putnamville, perhaps Bloomington, and Haubstadt.
7) July 29 - Kokomo "Bob Darland Memorial"
8) Aug. 23-25 Kokomo Smackdown - I can't see how this isn't the sprint car happening of this or any other year in recent memory.
9) Aug. 31& Sept. 1 - USAC sprints at Granite City (OK, OK, Pontoon Beach) and Terre Haute
10) Sept. 7-8 - USAC sprints at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, AK and "The Ditch", Riverside Internatiional Speedway in West Memphis, AK.
11) Sept. 15 - USAC sprints at Haubstadt
12) Oct. 26/27 - USAC sprints at Canyon Raceway, Phoenix AZ and/or
13) Nov. 15-17 - Western World at Canyon Raceway

I'm not sure how many sprint car races Kokomo Speedway has on their schedule for this upcoming season, but I believe you could take 10 of them, throw the rest out, and compile your list. This seems to hold true whether there are 16 cars or 36 cars in the pits. From a spectator standpoint, the racing at Kokomo is amazing. jmo

RAK said it well, Kokomo Speedway is great racing (along with great food, beer sales, top-notch management, spectacular track prep, and a strong front stretch fence that i can attest to) not to mention they understand fans time concerns on a Sunday night and they run a tight show.
My "not-to-miss" races this year will be USAC Midget week June 13th - 17th; USAC Sprint weeks July 13th - 21st; the Kokomo Smackdown Aug. 23rd - 25th; and the Hoosier 100 May 25th (Silver Crown i know, but still a sentimental favorite). bob
