I live on the eastside of Evansville, so going to Chandler would be easy for me, but I'm wondering how many sprint cars will enter? For $15 admission, I would expect to see enough cars for four heats, a semi, and a feature.

I am wondering why everyone is bashing SCORA. It is just a group of racers trying to provide a different level of racing, at different tracks. If it works great. If it does not, then they give up. But at the very least they can say they tried. (Which is more than most of us can say, my self included.) I know I am not out any thing if they fail. but if they succeed then I have got more tracks to race at, different teams to race against, and new friends to make.
As far as the aluminum motor deal, I know several "working men" that have aluminum motors. I know some that don't and some that have both. I think they are just trying to get cars in a sh***y economy.
If nothing else If you don't want to race for $600. the answer is simple. DON'T! But if you race for the love of racing, and SCORA is close, then go check them out and have some fun.

We had thought about running SCORA, but the travel is ridiculous for us, being just east of Cincinnati. Traveling 2-3 hours to Indiana wouldn't be bad, but all of the races in Illinois would be way too tough for us to make.

John3g,
Here is an idea that you might try. Since Joe Spiker now controls both VCS and Lincoln Park, how about trying to schedule with those two tracks only. It could help car counts in Illinois & Indiana. I am not saying to race weekly but maybe a couple of times a month or so April through September. That would be a 12 race schedule and not a lot of travel and both tracks are very accessable. I hope SCORA can make it because there is a need for the "working man" to be able to race. Start shooting holes in this right now!
