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.

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.

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).
