I think part of the touchyness on scheduling against other tracks is that LPS runs every Saturday night and has for many years. So that means they have ran against USAC, MSCS, KISS and the other tracks. Not because their trying to hose the other groups but because LPS is a weekly track. SO many seem to think it's done on purpose and I don't think it's that way.
I fact I have heard that a reason LPS didn't get into ISW this year is that LPS ran their weekly race against a USAC race last fall. The race weekend in the question was planned as LPS had USAC Sprints on Friday before USAC Sprints at THAT to hopefully increase car count for both track and still run the LPS normal Saturday event.
So Jerry that might have a little to do with the touchyness of your question.

As far as rain, most went south of the track and isn't anything to the west, so it should be a great night for racing.

I think I've made my point but just to clarify... What really got me fired up is the mentality, that if one race track in the state of Indiana is running a special show that all other tracks should shut down operations. As I stated above, I think that's crazy.

you know people from other states are right we Hoosiers are spoiled having so many Tracks running each week. Now we all argue about where to go and what track is killing the other when we should go to the one you want and be glad for everybody to have a fun night just think we might be some place that only runs once or twice a month and have to drive 5 hours or more to get there LETS ALL SWEAR OFF THE DRAMA and enjoy are Time at the track of our choice

I envy all you guys that have a choice of "where to go the races".

I wish I lived somewhere close to Indy "the center of the racing capitol of the USA". Totally Awesome!

I think each track draws its "Locals" both fans and drivers that are so unique in there own way. Most of all, we like to see our favorite driver make it big in the racing world and say there from "our track".

We don't have that privilage here in southern Ind.

I love to read the updates each night to see who won from each track and always wish I could have been there.
