Hot news flash: Stk/superstock combo race at indy

john corcoran jr · 02-28-2011, 12:54 AM

This weekend while at the Drag Racing Expo, I had the pleasure of talking with Kurt Johnson, Director of Racing Operations at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. Kurt is trying to increase track usage and spectator count. They are going to have a Stock/Super Stock combo race the weekend after the April Divisional race. Kurt also told me that if they get enough cars, they will split the combo race and run Stock AND Super Stock. Bruce B. will be there to do tech inspections We would also be able to leave our equipment there after the points meet. Did I mention he said 4 THOUSAND AMERICAN DOLLARS to win? There isn't any info on the track website yet, I'll keep you informed as I find out more. There was a flyer floating around at the Expo. I will try and get one scanned and post it. Think we can get a good car count? Sound off.

Why do you think they scheduled it the same weekend as the Numidia, PA race?

To try and screw over a pvt. racers race. $10,000 plus extras is a better deal anyway.
