Re: Usac: Turkey night grand prix usac midget results: Nov.

We attended the 2012 TNGP at Perris. It was the first time back on dirt since 1998. Very near 60 cars took time on Thanksgiving Night of 2012. Larson won his first of four that night. Car count...

Re: Usac: Turkey night grand prix usac midget results: Nov.

I was at Ventura in 2021 and the track lasted all of 10 more laps than it did this year (it rubbered up and locked down at lap 50 that night as opposed to lap 40 Saturday night). Mitchell Moles...

Re: RIP Terry Babb

We watched Terry race midgets, sprint cars and Silver Crown cars many, many times over the years. I didn't know Terry personally but he appeared to race for the love of doing it, not as a stepping...

Re: Illinois Midget week Starts T

It's been a long time since we have visited Charleston but it's always been a very racy little joint. Tonight appears to live up to expectations.

Re: Usac: Royal flush: Seavey’s last lap heroics net usac si

As a fan I have my preferences, as do we all. Myself and our group are not huge fans of the Silver Crown cars on shorter tracks. Maybe that comes from being from Illinois where the last 2 bastions of...

Re: OT: XR Late Models running the Belleville Low Banks

I made the 9 hour trip from Illinois to The Belleville Midget Nationals a half dozen times or more in the years leading up to it's abandonment by the midgets. Glad I did, and wouldn't take a million...

Re: Terre Haute cooler policy

Mighty Macon does NOT allow coolers to be carried in by spectators. They're even a little persnickety at the entrance gate about carrying in a bottle of water or soda. The concessions at Macon are...

Re: Joliet Cancelled

They really were BTF. One of the best races involving any genre of racecars on any type racetrack I ever witnessed was an Indy Car race that took place at Chicagoland Speedway. It is not in any way...

Yep, Ganassi was heavily involved in the Cicero track. We attended a couple of racing events there, one involving stock cars (I think it was an ASA show and Mike Garvey won) with the USAC National...

Re: Joliet Cancelled

I was at the first one, too (was at the first dirt open wheel race there, as well). A friend and neighbor was racing a DLM at that time. The dirt track was considerably longer than it is now and the...

Re: Joliet Cancelled

Dirt Oval Route 66 is a one of the nicest racing facilities of any kind we've ever attended. It's less than an hour drive for us. We've supported all the racing held there and have had both good...

Re: Happy Birthday Lil' Al

One of the most exciting races I've ever witnessed involved Al Jr. It was at Chicagoland. The race went green after the final yellow for about the last 30 laps or so. Sam Hornish and Al Jr. ran side...

Re: 500 First Timer

The 500 Festival Parade begins at 11:45 AM local time (you need to be in the spot where you'll view the parade by at least 11:00 AM, earlier the better). We've attended the parade a couple of times...

From a spectator perspective Milwaukee and Indy Cars are a good fit. The tradition, history and folk lore combined with generally above average racing would seem to be a very good combination. Lack...

Re: Usac: Usac/cra sprint cars return to perris for “so-cal

Will this event be broadcast on Floracing? There is no mention of a broadcast in this writeup and I don't see it in the Floracing "live events" schedule.

Re: Will your schedule change?

The general outlook by the "experts" is for crude oil to reach $180.00 to $200.00/barrel in the near future. Those numbers, if attained, will equate to gasoline surpassing the $8.00/gal. threshold...
