real simple, this all started about teams out in p.a. with there 2nd straight rain out. maybe 3rd tonight, (can't check the sched. sight is down). Yes i agree not every year there is rain. The first point I tried to make was that it is much easier to reschedule a race in Indiana than in PA. Thats why I suggested a different time of year for this swing. Ya i think usac needs to be in PA because open wheel raceing is very popular there. When desiel fuel jumped to $3 a gal, it was a strain, now its $5. Pretty simple to figure in that extra cost there. I hear several respected owners talk about how tight there bugets are this season. Usac did a very good thing putting these races together and not tring to make several trips out there. My example on the Gm Announcment, was to show how the econmey is takeing 1 more step backwards. I guess my veiw on the financials of raceing are scewed. I will shut up now since i have no clue what i am talking about

So in conclusion, #1 Brad Kuhn fan knows what he or she is talking about and 767 does not know what he or she is talking about.:rolling

Come on people, why are we attacking this guy??? All he (767) did was suggest that maybe a drier time of the racing season would be a better window for a trip like this. If I remember correctly, the last time USAC ran at Williams Grove it was in September of 1996. So obviously there is precedent for a swing that time of year. It's not rocket science that late spring/early summer is a wetter period than late summer/early fall.
Yet again, we stoop to sarcasm and belittling here. Sad.
