I always do what I can to support tracks by buying concessions and souvenirs, but the last two special event dirt track races I went to had mega-long lines at the food stands. If I get heat stroke...

I was going to come down from Wisconsin for the Plymouth ISW race on Friday. I messaged the track if they could relax their "no coolers" policy to allow us to bring in water, and I was told "Indiana...

On the TrackChaser main rankings there is a "Locations" column which shows how many unique places we have visited. If the track count bothers you, simply ignore it and look at the location count. ...

The lady in the souvenir store was trying to talk me into it! I am tempted. Ride along instructors were not offered on that day. I was there to see a Chicago area sports car club race in late...

Du Quoin (indoor), US24, West Liberty (IA), Lincoln (IL), Springfield...

Plenty of free parking along the residential side streets near the track. I have parked in nearby neighborhoods northwest, northeast, and southeast of the track during the Nationals. The...

He caught my attention at Lincoln on Sunday. I was unfamiliar with him, and he was fast that night until the engine let go. The next night in Springfield, I kept my eyes on him, and I was once...

Apologies for bumping an old thread. I arrived back home from my five day Indiana trip today and had time to look up more on the Wisconsin modifieds from my youth.

Yep. Some had more creative body styles inspired by 50s era cars (ie rear fins on a 57 Chevy). I'm guessing they ran small block Chevy engines, but I'm not sure. They stopped racing at Wilmot in the...

In eastern Wisconsin, there was another type of "modified" when I was a kid in the 80s. Kind of a cross between a sprint car and a legends car. A handful of drivers graduated to the IRA sprints from...

I've been to Anderson three times. One Glen Neibel Classic and two...

I went for the first time last year. I showed up early and got a ticket in the top row, not knowing what to expect. I checked out different views after I got inside. I remember seeing the whole...

Weather Underground is the most accurate online forecast I have seen. I am a postal carrier in Wisconsin and use it everyday. It looks like Attica will be a go for you. That was my plan B if Carb...
