Talked to a fair board member and he said they had a meeting last night about this year. He said it looks like usac will be the promoter and tom helfrich will do the track prep! Looks like 4 usac races and 1 mscs race. But the contract is not signed yet so we will see what happens.

Well, That is some good news...we need to Action Track to stay open...just something about that place...the history, the mystique and the thoughts of all the great races I have seen there...never will forget Jan Opperman and his Hulman Classic victory and countless other races there. When "THAT" is prepped right I still say there is no better half mile in the country.

Hope USAC sends down 6 flat bed semis for Tommy to bring up all of his track prep equipment.

5 races is better then none, I want to get someone in there that will have at least one race a month every month between April to October. The tracks deserves that.

I personally think that is about the right number of races. During the glory days it was quality over quantity. I am certain Tommy will do a good job at track prep, but the bar was set pretty high at the end of last year. Sounds good to me.

USAC's gonna be the promotor for a MSCS race? Or is that a trade off with Tommy?

I think he meant, that Helfrich will be the track preparer for the USAC races.

This is awesome news. I hope they get the deal finalized and the
board isn't too greedy so this can work out. the action track is the
ultimate showcase for usac sprint car racing and with usac getting
full control i think the days of fiascos there are over. track prep should
be second to none with helfrich in charge and should continue right
where the previous group left off. little chance of time wasting support
classes. this sounds like a dream come true. my fingers are crossed.
surprising only 800 and some views on this post but 4or 5 thousand for
one about gas prices? maybe the support class at THAT should be a
discussion about gas prices!
