I would suggest you go to Haubstadt Jersey. It is a sprint car palace. The best track preparation in the country. Now that the stadt is home for the MSCS you get to see USAC caliber cars run for better purses than regular night shows at other tracks. Best part, ticket prices at Haubstadt are about the same as other Indiana tracks!

Should be good no matter where we all go. I won't be working and getting my fill of Steak and Shakes!!!

your best choice was, The little 500 at Anderson. one of my favorite races all time. Some people put it down because of many of the big names will be at ORP that night. Trust me that is what makes this race better. You have drivers comeing in from all over. Most are there to race, and thats what makes it exciteing. Like every long distance race you will have a couple of cars out there turning laps, but last years field was the most competive field in quite a while. Get ready to see an awsome race!

Last year was my first time at the Little 500 (I was always at IRP in the past). Wow. I will not be my last.

Thats why this race is awsome. In the begining shane was a top 10 car. He kept his nose clean, the fast guys crashed, and he was there in the end. Was also nice to see a v6 running up front! Look for this years field to be very competive again. The wing show on wed. night was very smart. several of the drivers are wing drivers any how. The wed. race will once again mean something. (i.e. win some money to help pay for the trip. not donate money to USAC)
