Too bad this is half the information. Where the heck is all this? Try and remember the old school rule, the "4 W's"...WHO, WHAT, WHEN and WHERE ?

That would be Tri City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, IL. Owners are Kevin & Tammy Gundaker. Kevin is a former late model driver in the St. Louis area. They have done a great job of renovating the former 1/2 mile facility into a 3/8 track for weekly racing. Apparently they are adding a quarter midget track along with purchasing the old bowling alley and renovating it into a banquet center/bar/restaurant. Hope that helps Bob. That's all I got.

Bill, got all that, but on the best racing site on the web, "INDIANA" Open Wheel, i had no idea where in "INDIANA" it was. Was just trying to make an old school point about how to post. And before i take the heat, i know this site is for ALL states.
p.s. Thanks MudPacker for the info.

First of all no heat intended.

Bill Gardner explained it
Mud Packer really explained it
Maybe an assumption was made that most people would know where Tri-City Speedway is but I think that is understandable. As Bill explained the rest of the info was in the original article.
Remember Google is readily available to the inquisitive
Come to the Gold Crown to see all the great things the Gundakers are doing for the racers and race fans. More importantly what they are doing for young racers and young race fans. Nothing could be more important to our sport than what they are doing.
Check out their website for lots of info on their great facility: http://www.tricityspeedway.net/
I rarely miss an open wheel event there but I am lucky I live less than a half hour away!

The Gundakers are great people, and what they have done with that track is impressive. Promoters doing what they are doing is the future of the sport. Can't wait to get back there
