Is it a full show each night? No carryover from Friday to Saturday? I'm guessing so but just checking. I've been to Belle Claire once. It was a Sunday night Powri show in July 2015. C Bell was leading and got caught up with some lapped cars. He went to the tail & came back for the win. Spectacular racing!

Yes two different shows each night. Big car counts for this race. Always on the schedule every year

Belleville, IL - Friday, September 30th and Saturday, October 1st, the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series and POWRi Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micro Series will take to Belle-Clair Speedway for the final time of 2016.

Saturday's event is held in honor of former Midwest Auto Racing Association President, Charlene Meents. During her years with MARA, Meents was instrumental in keeping midget racing alive in the Midwest, especially the St. Louis area. She played an important role in maintaining MARA's presence in some of the country's largest and most notable races, including the Belleville Nationals and the Chili Bowl Nationals. Though she passed away in 2003, Meents is remembered by many as a friendly face who welcomed them to each MARA event. Along with her friends and family, the Charlene Meents Memorial keeps her racing legacy alive.

Presented by Priority Aviation, the 12th Annual Charlene Meents Memorial features nearly $3,500 in extra sponsor money and contingencies, adding over $1,000 in payout to the back end of the feature purse, helping to make the feature $250 to start. Each heat race will also pay $50 to win, with $25 going to each of the second and third place heat race finishes. In addition, there will be $100 to the high point getter of the night, a $100 hard charger for the main event, and at least $25 paid to lap leaders of the feature. As an added bonus, semi non-transfers also will receive extra money and Hinchman Indy has sponsored a gift certificate for the driver with the worst luck. Gift certificates have also been provided by Simpson Race Products and Rod End Supply to be handed out to random positions throughout the evening.

A special thanks goes out to Richard and Jennifer Marshall of Priority Aviation for coming on board as the presenting sponsors of the Charlene Meents Memorial, and a big thank you goes to sponsors of all segments.

Looks like I'm gonna go to Midgets at Belleville Friday & maybe NSL in Missouri Saturday, moved my "holding pattern" west to Terre Haute. I think I was in a panic mode yesterday after broken tooth & some weird dreams.... taking my sweet time going back to Denver.... probably cause I dread driving thru Kansas!!!!

I think you should go see a Dr. tomorrow. Possibly giving up a night at arguably the best midget track there is to go watch the NSL,you need some better pain meds.........

Anyone ever take that St Genevieve ferry across Mississippi? Sounds more fun than highway.... are there lines to get on? How long does it take?

Taken it several times over the years. If the ferry is on the wrong side when you arrive you may have to wait about 15 minutes for it to come get you. If it's on the side you arrive on hardly any waiting.

Plan on a long night in Farmington for the NSL show. They don't get in any hurry there.

Gotta give them credit. They really tried to keep the track in good shape despite the waves of heavy mist. Ultimately, the mist (ok, let's just call it rain) won. Midget and Micro heats were competed. Tickets from tonight will be honored tomorrow. We'll try again!!
