I'm looking for some thoughts/advice from those that have witnessed midget racing at the Lincoln, IL quarter-mile. Looking at YouTube videos, it looks sort of similar to FALS (although that may not be a fair comparison). The track looks ok, but the first two videos I saw, it rubbered up. Does it rubber up often, or was I just unlucky pulling those videos? How many cars do they usually get for IL midget week there? I'm contemplating going tomm, but it's a tougher decision because I'd be driving right by (plus another 2 hours) another sprint car race (albeit Outlaws at 34 Raceway). Bottom line... is it worth driving 2 hours further to go to POWRI midgets at Lincoln... or should I stick to Outlaws at 34 Raceway (more of a known commodity, personally) ?? Thanks in advance!

I"d be heading to the PowrI show myself just cuz (in my opinion ) the midgets put on a better show. Almost all the PowrI shows I"ve been to have 35 or more cars, then throw in 6 to 8 KKM cars , 4 5 Boat cars and you have a pretty loaded field

That is a tough one. I love the midgets, but to drive past a WOO show for a POWRi show would be tough especially factoring the additional 2 hour car drive home after the show. POWRi car counts can be all over the board. In the last couple of years, I have been to shows that had 40+ and to shows with 20.

I do not know how well people travel for the POWRi speed week, but with USAC in Pa, you are not going to have any of the USAC cross over cars.

I'd think real hard about going to the WoO race at Dubuque.

@kendirt… that’s a done deal! I’m heading there after a trip across the river to stock up on some New Glarus brew… looking forward to it!

Dubuque is going to be a front row winner and one hard charger from middle of the pack. As for New Glarus, that's a winner anytime!
