I am torn about Kamp. Yeah, the dust and the rocks were a pain, but I have to say that I probably got some of my best pictures there. And the heat race with Levi sliding his way to the front was one of the best heat races of Sprint Week.

Kamp example:

as far as brownstown goes i posted the question lastnight on brownstown's website why no usac sprints in 09 and tim keithly (the promoter) said that the were told if the ran a regular show in 08 that they would get a sprintweek show in 09 and as he stated in the reply they had a change in management and didnt get a sprintweek show so they decided to sit out 09 and see what happens..you can go to www.brownstownspeedway.com and see the reply if you like

Sounds like Brownstown wants to jump right in and cash in on what Kokomo, Bloomington, Gas City et al. have built.

Granted Kamp did the same thing but it would have been nice if Brownstown showed some support for USAC and maybe they would have been rewarded. He obviously had the fan support.

Interesting, change of management, doesn't the fair board own that track?Here is a funny one, maybe the change was someone that posts on here not announcing there anymore:eek: No offense meant CN.
At least now I can submit my vacation schedule @work.:thumb

I agree its a decent schedule, I will attend the first week, but I think I will pass on the second week. I am from Illinois and I am a supporter of USAC, I just wish they would throw me a bone once in a while and give me a race in IL. I won't attend the second week because the logistics are nuts , and my lungs haven't healed from Kamp.
