Sorry for the stir. Maybe the campfire will still be right though.

Sam,

When I originally posted the information from Curt Cavin's column in the Indianapolis Star, he said that "there is no TV contract at this time". That is why I asked if it came from around the campfire since I was confused.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe something will still develop.

There is deffinatly a cost to that. Maybe they do, and I have to much of an old school mentality. I just wonder how much cost could be cut out of the program just by triming the fat. I just wonder at what point do dirt tracks start turning events down?

Besides purse, insurance is the largest fee for a USAC race.
Generally, sanction/officials fees barely cover expenses/pay for USAC to officiate the race. That was my biggest misconception in previous years - I truly can't believe that "exhoribitant fees" have ever been used as an excuse for not hosting USAC.

No Anderson on the pavement schedule. Got a track here in Mich I'd love to see these cars run at,

Flat Rock. It's a nice facility just South of Detroit???

I knew Anderson wouldn't be hosting a USAC sprint car race this year. In fact, they didn't host one last year. They had a USAC midget show but not this year.

They run at the sister track in Toledo so we can only hope that someday they add Flat Rock. I would like to see them run there. Have they ever had a sprint show there before?

Do I sense heavy sarcasm in that thank you, Superduke?

We had our sprinter in mothballs. Does anyone know if Walmart will take mothballs back after they are opened?

The sandusky 305 Sprinters ran at Flat Rock last year. In the past they have had full Sprints as well as Super Modifieds !
