Brad Kuhn tried at the B Main of the Chili Bowl that one year... that didn't end well for him!

Your point is well taken! That is old school, and I'm guessing most on here would like to see more...

@kendirt… that’s a done deal! I’m heading there after a trip across the river to stock up on some New Glarus brew… looking forward to it!

I'm looking for some thoughts/advice from those that have witnessed midget racing at the Lincoln, IL quarter-mile. Looking at YouTube videos, it looks sort of similar to FALS (although that may not...

Probably would've won at Wayne County had he not been caught up in a wreck in his heat and have to come through the B. He's certainly squeezing the most lemonade out of 2020 as humanly possible...

FYI that The Throttle actually competed in the 2017 USAC race at Knoxville... ran 9th (started 21st) in the Paul Hazen 57. I'm excited to see what he can do in the 74x this weekend!

I think it was the same thing for this weekend last year... and also during the 'Let's Race Two' weekend at Eldora. It would be nice if they would simulcast it to everybody that bought the...

Most of you probably didn’t tune into the Jackson Nationals WoO show on Sat to watch the Wisconsin WingLESS series. There was a crash as they completed lap 1 of the feature and one of the drivers...

It was announced earlier this year that all of Knoxville's sprint car races in 2019 (the races this weekend included) were going to be streamed on DirtVision. Nothing has changed there. I don't...

Thanks for the reminder on Speedy Bill’s museum!! I don’t think my dad’s been there before... been a few years for me. We’ll prob be leaving a few hours earlier now!

That was the plan anyways! My dad and I were going to road trip to Grain Valley Fri, Haubstadt Sat, and Kokomo Sunday. Grain Valley was the first shoe to drop. Gas City might have a shot to race...

What kind of car counts are you guys expecting? It would be nice to get low 30's for both Fri & Sat, but I'm thinking mid-20's is more realistic.

I saw that they only had 16 or so at Haubstadt last Sat. It looks like the Kunz cars are running - so that'll help a little.

Anybody from the St Louis area have a pulse on how many cars to expect at Pevely this weekend? Would they maybe pick up a few more on Sat? Coming from the Des Moines area, trying to decide if I...

I think the King's Royal was Brad Sweet's first winged win at Eldora, but am wondering if any of you guys know if he has any midget/nonwing sprint wins there?? Thx!

What are everybody's guesses on the car count... 20, 30, 40? I see that Bloomington isn't racing this week, but Gas City still is... so will probably pull a few cars away.

For those of you that think the track will be junk due to running wing & nonwing, just wondering where you're coming from?? It has been my experience that winged cars are much harder on a track...

They are running a 'Prelude to the Nationals' race on Sunday night for winged 410s... so I'm guessing that Sat night will just be the E-D-C-B-A features for 360 Nationals and full USAC program. They...

Hopefully the show is a success on Aug 14th and USAC will come back. It is a racy track and I would think would be a perfect fit for a USAC sprint and USAC/POWRi midget co-sanction double-header --...

This is a great thread... misdirection apparently CAN be a good thing! Being born in the early 80s and from Knoxville, the first time I saw a nonwing race was the 1990 show at Knoxville. I had just...
