A group of us want to come to Satuday's race. What time does it all get going? The website isn't real helpful to me with Saturday times. It just basically says same as Friday but without practice. But that's at 11. Does the racing really start at 11? We can't get there til 4 or 5.

The gocart and quarter midget racing starts at 11, they run two rounds. All the 600 and midget racing will take place after 7. The 600's qualify in the middle of the gocarts which is around 1-2 in the afternoon and the midgets qualify later.

They run all day with kart heats, quarter midget heats, midget time trials and 600cc time trials, etc.. The program starts at 7 which would be the midget heats and 600cc heats and features for them both. They also are putting some kart features in the program also. If you get there at 4-5 you'll be there to see alot.

That was the only time we have sold out, and that was on the Saturday of racing in 2007. You can call ahead to check on ticket availability at 260-483-1111. That is an info line only, you can check before you leave.

I do help save you the service charge by taking ticket orders by you sending me the name on the card, address, type of ticket, card # and expiration date with your cell number to tbracefest@aol.com. I pass the order to the Coliseum, and they hold them at will call at this point. E-mail me at tbracefest@aol.com.

I am unable to do that starting Dec. 25. You can be sure you get em by going to this link.
