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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The first few years Chicagoland, near Joliet, Illinois, was hosting NASCAR and Indy Car racing spectators were prohibited from entering with coolers and concession prices were comparable to the two...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
For the old timer midget fans and some of you younger ones not familiar we wanted to let everyone know that Mrs. Bob Tatterall, Delores, most times known as Aunt Dee, turns 90 years young today. Dee...
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...
I hope FCR has their ---- together in regards to adequate push vehicles and organization of the midget portion of the event. The vast majority of spectators will be there exclusively for the dirt...
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...
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.
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...
