Susky/baps hasn't had a speedweek race in a long time if ever, sometimes they schedule a race on the Thursday before the speedweek starter at the grove on Friday. Glad to see Selinsgrove toward the front of the week instead of always being at the end of the week

Don't understand why they have to have 2 races each at 3 tracks and cannot add BAPS to the schedule in place of one of the duplicates. BAPS has done much work to their facility and deserve to have a sprint week race there. And how about Big Diamond and Path Valley as nominees for sprint week dates!!!

Susky has not been on the schedule since 2006. Although they have done a lot of work there they have not improved the fan experience at all in fact I find it worst now. New stands are too cramped, the new pit sand it WAY to big a blocks views and the new double fence makes viewing cars going into turn one difficult. Plus it's still the dustiest track in central PA.

The promoters of the Grove, Port Royal, and Lincoln control the scheduling of speedweek. They like to guarantee themselves 2 races (more $), which unfortunately comes at the expense of other tracks that could host a single speedweek race.

Speedweek is the most profitable week of the year for the PA promoters.

Lousy purses and a lot of fans make for a lot of money to be made.
