My guess is 15 cars. The Anderson show had the benefit of a few Spartan and winged guys that I don't think you will see down there for a Thursday night show. JMO.

Dont forget $5 off the $15 admission for HARF members. So for those of you that are math disadvantaged it will cost you $10 for all the Thursday night thunder shows if you are a HARF member. With the forecast for the rest of the weekend around here this may be the only chance to see a race this weekend.

I think it's LRP, or LORP now, anyway, Lucas is involved now. Last time I was there, they were just about over the Kroger Sprint Car Series, and some of the guys from PA were there with the REAL Race cars, the one's with the wangs hooked to the loud pedal, just a few, just as a preview of an upcoming race there, and the question was asked, after they had "practiced" a few laps, "can you run this place flatfooted"? The answer came back, "not on this shiny track"! Made my day! Bob

Friend of mine at the track @4:45 there was approx 20 cars there

It would be nice if USAC had a live stream since there will be no tv coverage now.Anybody know or think they will stream it live?Otherwise maybe someone will post updates hopefully.

I thought I read on here the other day, it was going to be televised, but only in select areas, and channels. Maybe it was a senior moment! Bob
