Considering making the long trek. Worth it? Opinions solicited.

Absolutely. With the O'Conners and Bob Sargent running the place, the track preparation will be absolutely first class. Since they took over, this has gone from my do not go list to my do not miss list. What I can't speak to is whether USAC will be able to attract a good field of dirt champ cars. I'm certainly willing to drive over 150 miles to find out, however.

Frank said it. Go for it. Not like you have to get up and go to work the next morning.

You can always make a long weekend out of it...Gas City Fri., Putnamville Sat and then on to Terre Haute Sunday! Some of the best Silver Crown races I have ever seen have been at Terre Hau

I'm in the same boat... Believe that champ cars at the Action Track are one of a kind, but also scared that car count and car performance will be dismal!?

I wonder if USAC has/will make a car count projection.

Well...just think of the the old saying..."A bad day at the races is still better than a good day at work" I've been to plenty of races with light car counts...but at least I was at a race. It is almost impossible for me to say no to a race at Terre Haute.
