I’m just curious why everyone is worried about the building of a temporary track... Chili Bowl? Mid-America Dome? both temporary venues... both tracks hosting several times the amount of cars we will see on opening night of Sprint week... and neither of these venues have the potential resources of IMS... This forum is full of fans complaining about The 500 abandoning short track drivers... Now when they are possibly offering a chance for our heros to make their name on the hallowed grounds, negativity abounds.
I, for one, hate to see Gas City lose its date. I have enjoyed kicking off the week there in the past. However, if this comes to be at IMS, we have an opportunity to showcase our passion to an audience never seen before! |

60-70 sprints? Considering they're not pulling 25? Oh and I agree to the promoting and show casing our home state type of racing, I only wish that with it comes higher payouts throughout the purse and some other tracks that can do it, do it. Might keep some of these guys from leaving the first opportunity they get to All Stars, or WoO.

Just at the 500 in my turn three seats. The infield was packed with cars, people and the snake pit. Nothing there yet. not surprised though they need every inch of that area for the 500.
I Put my blanket down already on the top row it better be there when I get there in July. |

Possibly 50-60, there's no way in heck that it gets close to Mopar Million counts That 10k to start had a lot to do with many who ran that.

Plymouth is fine and excellent venue.Giant grandstand would accomodate eveyone and not kill you physically like Gas City grandstands.Track attention would be very important as to not have type of surface as they had few weeks ago.The Speddway thing is dead.
