What if you could get owners / promoters at:

Kokomo
Put
Haubstadt

to agree to rotate an annual 2-3 day event? Say it's every year, the second weekend in July. If it's not your year, you don't run that weekend but support the NW Nationals.

One, perhaps it's a pipe dream to get those three tracks to support something like this.

Two, there's still a ton of other tracks that could run that weekend in Indiana or nearby states and hurt the car count.

What do you think?

We could call it something like say ... The Smackdown

Tried it at Terre Haute 20 years ago. Plenty of cars, not enough fans. The Smackdown seems to be doing well and has the perfect weekend. Sprint week already occupies July along with the big show in South Dakota. There really isn’t room for anymore.

I love me some Smackdown!! My favorite show, so looking forward to it and the people we see yearly. 🍺

I would like to see a big 2-day show in the summer at the big E. Without a wing support class. It's a place that has the money to pull it off. If I were a wealthy person I would help the purse and promotion. For now, there is plenty of good sprint racing in the summer everywhere. Just that it only lasts about 5 months.

Putnamville already has a 2 day show in July. Throw in SprintWeek and its a pretty crowded month already.

Did you race at the I55 US Dirt Nationals?

That would be nice, Love Eldora but the only draw back is the track prep. last time they had a nice track the WOO wouldnt run on it. Well maybe someday.
