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.

4 big ones. I'm sure there will be plenty of interest.

Very nice.

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.

I'm in, I'm in... thanks for track owners trying to help promote our Sportsman classes, and thinking about a race from our perspective!!

Some Div 5 racers might make the trip to Indy, no way we drive to Pa. X Techman, why so negative ALL the time? Have a nice day. Dyno

Thats not being negative.....just stating a fact. Why else put it on the same weekend?

Like the Indy combo is going to take away from the D1 $10,000 combo race. Give me a brake Terry. Is there anything you don't bitc# about?

The same weekend as the IHRA race in London, KY as well as the one in Numidia. Seems like they could have chosen a better weekend.
