I've been attending the 360 Nationals for as long as I can remember, and have been to all of the FRC in Osky, and then the 410 Nats. 

There have been years where Terry had a two day show, however recent years this has been a single year. 

Do we need another race on Tuesday for guys that don't run 410s? Maybe 360s, or wingles. Maybe USAC didn't pull in the crowd that Terry needed to turn a profit. 

As I've gotten older I don't mind having the Tuesday off to "rest". 

Keep It Real

I had high hopes for the Tuesday night Comet Classic midget race filling that void several years ago in Indianola, but that race was so badly ran and organized that it hurt my feelings.

I attended that event as well. The fans turned out. The drivers did not, and Robert needed more help.

Again, I think Tuesday would need to be 360s, midgets, and or non wing. Would love to see Osky tear it up, and make it a smaller track. 

Keep It Real

That track looked awesome, not sure why one of the midget series dont have a race there with all the talent around that week. 

You could probably have a hell of a micro show there with a decent enough payout. There's a lot of $5,000 to $10,000-to-win micro races nowadays. It may not draw a big crowd, but those races seem to be able to pay the purse through the pitgate and sponsorship. A micro show in Indianola might hurt English Creek's Tuesday night program though.

Ask Frank

For a Tuesday racing fix, one could just go south of Knoxville to English Creek Speedway for their Dirt Kart Nationals.

It's a good time and real affordable....

I went one year and it's totally fine, but it's not a replacement for the ultimate challenge at Osky. Understand why they dont have that anymore but the racing junkie in me would like another option on Tuesday. 

I'm guessing it wasn't a big moneymaker and I seem to remember the crowds being on the light side with no infield party to speak of the last few years of the non-wing show. It's unfortunate.

Ask Frank

I would go to the Ultimate Challenge if they started doing it again. Maybe some Midgets as the other class would be awesome...

Last time I went to Osky was when they had the Ultimate Challenge so it's been a while.
