I saw on 6-21 that JACKSLASH posted a commercial spot for the race on July3. Gates open at 10:30 and racing around 12:30. It's a day race.

***? Why would they run a day race? There is a reason why they put lights up at dirt tracks!

We're gonna' be there for sure even though it is a day show. I just hope they have the track in shape for it.

USAC finally changed their website schedule for the Silver Crown division. It now lists Terre Haute as a day show and shows the North Wilkesboro show as being cancelled.

What is the reason that this was switched to a day race? Thanks.

Hell, i'm just happy they are racing there & not running the twin 50 format.
A couple of years ago I saw some very good day races at the "THAT" track.
Well alright...it was many years ago.
I wish they would still run the "real" Hut 100" there on a nice sunny, but cooler, Sept. day race and invite a guest such as Mario, A.J., Rutherford, Snider, Parnelli & the Unsers back there to help with attendance. Theyvcould do that for the Sumar 100 also.

I know I will try for Kokomo also but not $ure I can swing it.

When it as a night race I was planning to go. But, now with the time that I get out of church and a 2 hour drive that just won't happen. I really can't believe that they can get the track to hold up during the day.

I think they might have moved it to a day race to get away from the time that most towns will be having firework displays BUT I think they'll hurt themselves by doing so as far as drawing a crowd AND the fact the track hasn't been great for racing lately which keeps many of us from making a long trip there and if the track is bad again it'll just continue to keep us away....

I don't know which races you been to lately at THAT, but the last race I went to, the track was near perfect with the O'conners doing track prep.

Maybe they also moved it to a day race for Kokomo. Also, the racing hasn't been great lately? I was at the last sprint car race last year (or second to last). I haven't seen that great of track, racing at THAT ever (of course I only started once King took over).
