Tore the hell outta their equipment. Those cars weren't meant for that. Saw WoO at the fairgrounds in '91 the Fri before the big 500 where Swindell had dominated all day until there was a late yellow. 2 to go when they went green and Kinser got the best start I ever saw and passed 5 cars at the top of 4 and won it. Swindell got out beating on his car. Good times.
ah I thought they did as well, but the race in question I was thinking I saw on tv like tnn or speed in the early 2000's had to have been a silver crown race, and I remeber hearing about the hoosier mile thinking there were more mile race tracks not knowing they were you know fairgrounds usually horse tracks, and I wanted to see if it was still in operation, anyway lead to me learning of silver crown racing its history, and their ancester cars being the openwheel dirt roadsters that date all to way back to barny oldfield passing 60 mph on this track, and also learned I had discovered it as a race track too late, they were to put down limestone, the conversion was held off a year due to covid, and they were still going to have one more hoosier hundred in 21 there but the state fair just had to start the limestone surfacing over the dirt, as though it was an emergency could not wait a month till may to start from april when it was announced they started and that they were going to have an event that day at terre haute instead. The Hoosier 100 WAS THE CROWN JEWEL of dirt racing, sure you had the two other miles in illinose but the hoosier state fair was one of only three left that they raced on there is sacramento but they havent raced cars there in ages maybe since black sunday though they do have flat track motorcycle racing there, it was part of the mile dirt triple crown, and worse yet indy is supposed to be the racing capital of the world, its seems utter blasphemy to do what they did, and not even save the half mile so they could race cars on, it would not be the mile but it would still have been the track of champions and still big enough to run silver crown and race cars on. traded 115 years of history for gambling money, and parking, now I dont mind horses but we could still have shared now its only good for harness racing and trainning you cant race cars nor thoroughbreds on it anymore. I am still trying to find a way to get usac to get the hundred back on even a temp dirt track its fine at irp but it needs to be on dirt, it was a fun wicked and historical race, on pavement for 146 laps yes, but the hundred is a dirt race, I know it, usac knows this, bobby santos 3 that won it acknowlaged the fact, and king Kody Swanson mentioned this fact on a video for the usac instegram, though who was nice enough to even give me a shirt for free just buy hanning out at their merch trailer with them most kind and generous of him. sarry for ranting, but its a travisty they took this track away a big dirt track is the only kind of track they dont have in indy anymore, and if they had the money to put the walls and fence around the horseshoe racing and casino track it maybe a differant story, and that is just outside indy in shelbyvill and it is a 1 mile dirt track for the record. now back to the sprints, I could have swore up and down they were winged sprints when I saw the race on tv from the hoosier mile 20 years ago and that steve kinser was among them I did know some of the drivers names from winged racing I know I did, though they mentioned they were mile track cars also in the tellecast and the only thing that are would be silver crown cars, and were since before usac and the hey day of the champ car trail that included indy, duquine, and langhorn as well as the indy 500 and pikes peak hill climb, though I am sure they stopped racing on miles with the winged sprints before the year 2000 due to sammy swindels wing colapsing when they ran at super dirt week at the moody mile in new york, and just the all out speed they now get and there is no record of winged sprints racing at the hoosier mile past like 1992 that I could find in any stat websites of tracks and openwheel racing so I am at a loss but this is proof they did years ago race winged cars here.

sarry for ranting, but its a travisty they took this track away a big dirt track is the only kind of track they dont have in indy anymore, and if they had the money to put the walls and fence around the horseshoe racing and casino track it maybe a differant story, and that is just outside indy in shelbyvill and it is a 1 mile dirt track for the record.
now back to the sprints, I could have swore up and down they were winged sprints when I saw the race on tv from the hoosier mile 20 years ago and that steve kinser was among them I did know some of the drivers names from winged racing I know I did, though they mentioned they were mile track cars also in the tellecast and the only thing that are would be silver crown cars, and were since before usac and the hey day of the champ car trail that included indy, duquine, and langhorn as well as the indy 500 and pikes peak hill climb, though I am sure they stopped racing on miles with the winged sprints before the year 2000 due to sammy swindels wing colapsing when they ran at super dirt week at the moody mile in new york, and just the all out speed they now get and there is no record of winged sprints racing at the hoosier mile past like 1992 that I could find in any stat websites of tracks and openwheel racing so I am at a loss but this is proof they did years ago race winged cars here.
