The Big Car Series
Welcome to the PRA
The Premier Racing Association will drop the green flag on the 2006 season this May. The “Big Car Series” division tentative schedule includes seven races at six tracks. The series is tentatively slated to race in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana and Tennessee. The series will utilize pavement cars that ran in the 2005 USAC Silver Crown Series but are now outdated. The first race is scheduled for May 17th at Indianapolis Raceway Park. IRP’s website states that a second date is scheduled for July 5th. The races are geared to run on a Tuesday or Wednesday night so not to conflict with USAC’s schedule and other series schedules. The series’ new website is www.praracing.com.
Former USAC National Series Coordinator Jason Smith and partner Jason McCord appeared earlier tonight on the Autosport Show. http://www.autosportradio.com/
Smith told Don Kay on the Autosport Show that the new series will be geared to the fans. The series will also be limited to six to eight races to lessen the travel woes on a teams who also race in other series. Jason Smith went on to tell Kay that there is a possibility of TV but the details have not been finalized. Smith added that the toughest thing about leaving USAC was leaving the new generation Silver Crown car. He said that the two best values in racing to get into was the new generation Silver Crown car and a one off IndyCar race at the Indy 500.
