How many did you attend?
Would you change anything for next year?
I made it to four of the seven... Gas City, Kokomo, Putnamville, and Haubstadt. My pick for best race was Kokomo, but it was exceptional. At Gas City, it was unbelievable to see Sunshine look like he was in slow motion while running down Clauson. Brady Short was fun to watch at Putnamville, coming from 11th to first. I, like many, am still waiting for the mistake that never came from Carson Short at Haubstadt!! He was flawless in traffic!
I am a bit of a racing historian. I tend to favor tradition in lieu of new, but for SprintWeek, I would rather see Brownstown instead of Terre Haute. I think the four tracks I attended show I truly believe the smaller tracks are putting on the better show. Sorry Lawerenceburg, but while you have the most outstanding facility, you don't have the most outstanding racing. What I cannot understand is why the car counts are always down at Haubstadt. The Helfrich family should be rewarded for having hands down, the best PRIVATELY owned facility in Indiana. (This is to take NOTHING away from Putnamville. The upgrades there are OUTSTANDING.). The racing surface at TSS is the smoothest and easy on equipment, but the cars stay away. ANY THOUGHTS?
My biggest surprise of the week was watching a top three team in points scramble to make a feature. With two different (and excellent) drivers no less...
Seven races in nine days is a great series. I have already mentioned my change... The series the way it is allows a person to make the races they can and still make work the next day if necessary.
