Take that idea to Terre Haute and you would have a REAL Classic?

Oppweld is on it. I’ve got no desire to go to this race due primarily to the depth of competition. Perhaps in a few years it will be better as pavement racing makes a resurgence, but for now I might watch on Flo. But Oppweld speaks the truth, gimme Terre Haute and I’m all in with this program

Thanks for being real positive guys about a track putting up huge money for pavement racing. Casey and LORP is stepping up big time, (isn't this the biggest Crown race payout)

While I generally prefer dirt over pavement, that fact in no way reduces my excitement about this event. Putting it on my 2021 "wish and hope" calendar now!

You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same. Copied from the back of the #16 supermodified.

I have no problem with Lucas Oil Speedway. My dig is the lack of interest in big money events at the best half mile in the country.

Kudos to LOR for rewarding pavement open wheel guys. Their Night Before the 500 show this summer had one of their biggest oval track crowds since the old Speedfest days. Clearly the fans and racers had interest and supported the show.

Regarding Terre Haute as one of the "best" half miles in the country, maybe if they would invest some capital in the track you could justify that statement. Dark lights, PA speakers you can hardly hear, and long concession lines don't help your claim.
