You have to be kidding.

July 18-19 works out as a Saturday-Sunday race only with the addition of Alcohol cars to boot.

Have they released the d3 schedule for 2020 yet?

Let’s see, it was a 3 day race this year and it went very smoothly. Next year the ALCOHOL cars will join us and it is scheduled as a 2 day race. Makes perfectly good SENSE to me....OH, and it is going to be hotter than hell .....For those not at Columbus this year the track was marginal, at best. ...throw some July temps in the mix and the starting line could very well be suspect.

Don't forget there is a good chance the Indy pts meet will be the week of July 3-5 like it has been the last 3 years. So that would mean a min of 4 hot ***** weeks of racing in a row maybe 5 depending on when the Joliet pts fits into the schedule. Great schedule, everyone loves racing when its 90 plus degrees and 90 plus humidity.

Thank god they now have mechanical rain delays(AF/AD) at the Sportsnats now. That event was almost to smooth it needed to be screwed with. can't wait to see how many fans those two category bring in.
