Yes, the track took rubber. Yes, the track went to the bottom. And yes, there was still passing, and was still an excellent race. Schatz would've won if there had been one or two more laps.
You are talking about one of the fastest, tightest bullrings that they run. With a track record of 10.189s set by Stevie Smith, that gives you an idea of how fast they get rolling, and it's usually 2 wide and 3 wide racing.
What does I-55, Highland, Tri-City, Belle-Clair and other local dirt tracks have planned during the off season for track improvements, and are there any surprises to look for next year, schedule wise?
Ok, if my doctor's appointment on Friday goes ok, I plan on attending. HOWEVER, I went to Haubstadt last week for a $10,000 to win USAC/$1,000 to win Modified show, and paid $25 to get in. Just sayin.
Keep an ear to the ground on this one. USAC's schedule all of a sudden shows a TBA/TBA for October 6 and 7, that could be the make-up for Tri-City and I-55.
