Plus I will be curious to see the tickets prices for this show. I am guessing a $30 a head minimum.

You could be right. I am sure that ARCA will qualify early but I certainly hope that they don't have heat races for the midgets in the afternoon. That would screw up the whole show. Again, I am glad they are still going to be racing but would much prefer USAC on Wednesday and ARCA on Thursday.

I bet you are correct with the $30 minimum ticket to get in.

You forgot the extra 10 dollars to park. For some reason just they only charge to park for this week of racing.

I talked to Sargeant Thursday at the show. I mentioned the Indy Mile, and he said not yet. I hope he puts one on there.The memories of the old USAC shows are great.

Ok, got a question. Just where are all of these cars supposed to pit? Stacked up now. It is a mess loading and unloading as it is! Wow, what a mistake.

It seems pretty obvious to me. They had to bring in another series to prop up sagging attendence at another USAC event. Just like Eldora brought in the Outlaws to prop up the 4 Crown.

They also charge for parking during the US Nationals and that's on top of a very high per day ticket that is about double NASCAR weekend for each day/event

I actually like ARCA and even tho it will make the day a bit longer it also means I will be going back to IRP for this event for the first time after a 5 year break. Should be a decent day of racing and gives a chance for the open wheelers to shine in front of the fendered set.

they turn 40 of those ARCA cars loose over at ORP it is going to be a great race. they need to run them last because of all of the debris & fluids that will be all over the track after 150 laps. that race is going to be a slug fest, just like salem & winchester
