Its still early,and the racing hasnt started out that way yet,so you think Jody Rosenboom will come out for a go with his midget?
I doubt Jody will be there as there is a 360 winged race at Park Jefferson on the 12th. My bet is he will be there.

Glad to hear that Alex will be there. Do you know of any other Eastern drivers who are coming?

I am hoping to come down to Kokomo next weekend as well from central Michigan to watch the races. After the winter we've had up here, I'd travel to watch Walmartians race their scooters at this point. I've never been to Kokomo, nor a midget race. As of today, the forecast looks favorable. My question is about seating. Is the grandstand general admission there? Is there pitside seating? If so, how is it? I plan to just show up and get a pit pass, but if seating limitations would make that a bad option, I'd like to figure that out now, rather than when I get there.

Thanks.

I have not heard of anyone else coming... I am guessing Stevie Buckwalter will be at Williams Grove in his 410 Friday and Port Royal on Saturday. Timmy Buckwalter will be at Grandview in a modified. Last time I talked to Trevor Kobylarz he didn't say anything about going to Kokomo next weekend.

It is general admission seating for the grandstands. There should be enough seating that you won't have an issue. They have bleachers on both the front and back side of the speedway. The pits also have bleacher seating in turn #2. I personally haven't sat there but the site line should be good as well. This should be a good show if only the rain would stop now. Enough is enough. Welcome ahead of time to Kokomo and midget racing.

Like mud packer said, seating shouldn't be an issue but I think sitting in the pits is a cool experience, turn 2 is always a tricky spot for drivers to master so you get to watch em work their magic and I think apperciate them that much more, only negative is you eat a lot of dirt over there. Wherever you sit, you'll enjoy yourself! It's the best bullring in Indiana!

Plenty of good seats at Kokomo. Pits is kinda hard to see the cars in your turn when they are up on the wall. Backstretch gives you a good perspective of the exit of turn 2. Frontstretch up high can see everything that happens and my favorite if I don't get the vip ride with Marc.

A couple of us cheeseheads are looking forward to this show. We need a happy road trip to get us over the Badgers losing to Kentucky.
