Port Royal Speedway BREAKING NEWS:

Fans, you asked for it and now you're gonna get it. On Saturday, June 17th, the always exciting USAC non-wing sprint cars will make their yearly stop and for the first time ever at Port Royal Speedway, our mighty 410 sprint cars will be on the show with them. This makes for a one-night sprint car extravaganza you will NOT want to miss!

How many races do they run each year at Port Royal? Hard to believe they can't run just one show a year without the tin. Winged cars will slick over the track & make the non wingers put on a bad show. Sorry Port Royal, you just lost my money as I'm not supporting your poor decision.

I'm going to Jennerstown to see the ISMA Supers Mods that night. I just think the winged 410 are going to burn up the track for the USAC sprints.

Guess you've never been to ISW then. One dry slick track after another.

Oh I've seen a ton of ISW races, been coming out to Indiana since 1996. What you won't see in Indiana is trucks with street tires pack the track for hours before hot laps. You won't see a grader out on the track after heat races to knock down a cushion and then those same street tire wielding trucks pack it back down as hard as asphalt. That's how they prep a track for winged 410's in Central PA.

I've seen far more tracks look like this when the racing start in Indiana,



then like this for winged 410's.

So you are telling me I can see 2 sprint car races for the price of 1? And two different disciplines at that? How dare you! LMAO. I love this idea; made my initial visit to Port for the WoO show in October and the track was in good shape all night. Thank you to the promoters at Port Royal for trying something different!

What Jeff is trying to make you understand is one discipline will most likely be adversely affecting the other. I'll let you figure which one.
