I have been a fan since the early seventies. I think alot of people base what they see, both attendance, and TV view on both NASCAR in the last 15 years and CART in the early nineties. If you go back to the late seventies and early eighties, Indy…

If correct, and the proposed temporary street circuit proposed for Las Vegas is added to the 15 event/race IndyCar Series schedule shown above (dated 11-10-11), temporary street circuits could make up 50% of the events/races on said…

I heard from someone very inside at AA that Vegas is OUT.

I'm not privvy to the finances of Iowa Speedway's events, and how much money the various shows made (or lost). But i think it's pretty clear the IICS event at Iowa is doing pretty well year in and year out, or there is no way the…

Just down the road from the Iowa Speedway sets the famous Knoxville Nationals track---truly the Indianapolis for all dirt open wheel fans (every year 1800 folks fly in from Australia to attend the Knoxville Nationals.) And I believe Iowa…

Linda,
I would LOVE to go to IOWA. That is the one race that seems (every year) so compelling to watch on TV. I wish I had known you were going to Kentucky, as I and Stu Jr. ( age 12) would have found you and bought you a (beer?…

For what is supposed to be a top tier racing series and considering the high sanctioning fees that have to be paid to INDYCAR, it is questionable whether the Iowa INDYCAR race was a financial success or not.…

It's a real dilemma. Not surprised to hear that despite lots of promotion in Cincy the crowd was still not there at Kentucky Speedway.
Even though NASCAR is also suffering a downturn in race attendance, they're still head and…

Stu, I'm 64 years old and I drove myself to Kentucky this fall for the race. I would encourage you to drive to Newton, Iowa (east of Des Moines) with your son this coming June--trust me--you will not experience a "private…

Finally! Someone else recognizes EuroSpeeway.
Stu Dripper replied to Mark (ZAP) Zaputil's discussion 'ANY 2012 SCHEDULE INFO'
Linda,
I agree with everything you say. I just don't understand how there is NO interest to the casual "race" fan in a place like Cincy (my adopted hometown) in the Kentucky race anymore. I was so excited to see this…
Iowa Guy replied to Mark (ZAP) Zaputil's discussion 'ANY 2012 SCHEDULE INFO'
Amen to that. Heard the IICS let some people go recently. I sure hope they were not from the PR department -- unless they plan to replace them with new blood, but I doubt that. When businesses start having money issues, it's usually the…

Thanks very much, Railroad (belatedly)! Have only jumped on there a couple times as of late just to see what people are saying. Didn't do much personal computing yesterday.
