The first POWRi/WAR show in June of this year didn't really live up to expectations gleaned from the hugely successful and exciting POWRi National Midget show in July of 2016. In fact it was a bit of a let down compared to the POWRi show of the year before.

That said, the Sprint Mania show in October was exemplary in all aspects, especially given the terrible weather conditions. I believe a POWRi/WAR show would rival a USAC National show if USAC is not in action. We saw a half dozen USAC sprintcar regulars at the October show, one drove all the way from a rainout at Haubstadt to race with WAR at Fairbury. Dave Darland and The Madman had nothing but glowing remarks about the track and facility.

As much as I'd love to see a USAC National Midget or Sprint show at Fairbury with good scheduling POWRi/WAR can be a very good event.
