Does USAC award tracks ISW dates, or is it based on admission to the good ole' boys club by the promotors that are already part of ISW? If a track wants an ISW date but is not allowed to have one for either of those reasons, then I don't see any problem with promotors like Joe Spiker, Keith Ford, or Mason Fleetwood scheduling some races with a bigger purse during this same time.

PS Thanks to all the drivers and teams that showed up and raced

21 cars might have a lot to do with it being a Monday night. A lot of those non-USAC regulars that are on a smaller budget most likely work during the week and wouldn't be able to get to a race on a weeknight. If it was this Friday instead, they probably would have had quite a few more cars, even with ISW at Bloomington.

So is Dave Assillson out of the picture now? If so, who would be calling the shots? I am sure this could eventually get worked out with cooler heads for the fans,drivers,etc. I would be willing to do what I could to make this happen again, just need to know who to talk to.

if Twin Cities wanted to do something for the racers then they should have ran this race on a weekend USAC didn't run or on a weeknight that wouldn't have been a conflict. They clearly ran it to try to bootleg a Sprint Week race while pay a lower purse and no sanction fee.

Just wish people that post these things would get all the facts right. Congrats to Justin Grant for the win !!!

Stop we have been down this road a dozen times. Yes a lot of people would like to see ISW back at LPS but who do you drop ? How many teams do you think can afford another date ? Its already a dam tough deal 7 races in 9 days. After this season ends then talk are call USAC and voice your opion bout adding LPS. But for this season you are beating a dead deer

If theyhare going to stretch it out for nine days they should run nine races. Examples Ohio and Pennsylvania sprint weeks and don,t forget the HELL tour!!!!
