USAC announces national schedules
I see that USAC has announced the schedules for their three national touring series. Besides the Manzinita show that I previously mentioned in this blog, nothing really stands out for me on the Silver Crown schedule.
The midget series schedule looks pretty strong and I see they have some more co-sanctioned shows with the POWRi Midget Series and the Badger Midgets. If you are looking to see a a midget race with a really good field of cars, going to one of these shows could be a winner. The two co-sanctioned shows at McCool Junction in Nebraska really peaks my interest. As some readers of this blog know, I have a goal of seeing a race in all fifty states and I haven’t seen one in Nebraska yet. What makes these two dates even more intriguing are that they are on a Monday and a Tuesday, leaving the weekend open to catch some races at other tracks (maybe in missing states Wyoming and Colorado). They are also just before the Bellville Nationals which might make for another possibility.
The sprint car series is where the big news for east coast fans are. They plan on having a 4 race eastern swing with 3 nights scheduled so far. They are Big Diamond Raceway (Wed., June 6), Grandview Speedway Thu., June 7), and Hagerstown Speedway (Sat., June 9) with a Friday night race still to be announced. My bet is that they are trying to work out a date with William’s Grove, but maybe it will end up somewhere else (New Egypt anyone?). Another date that peaks my interest is a August 14′th visit to Mineral Wells, WV’s West Virginia Motor Speedway. I’m still looking to see a race in West Virginia, so this might be a possibility if it ends up fitting into my schedule.
