Usually gets a pretty good field of cars and a good fan turnout. I am trying to decide whether to go to Paragon or midget week at Lawrenceburg. Paragon is 100 miles closer, so that is a bit of a factor. Last year it was unseasonably cool at Paragon for this race. Usually, you face a blazing sun under a cloudless sky. But this is a special race honoring a special man, so that is the reason that so many make this a must-see on their annual racing calendar. I will make the decision by Saturday morning as to whether I head up I69 and SR57 or east on I64.

It's a pretty good show, there are usually about 7-10 hot dogs from other tracks that try to win it. Stanbrough and Short are two who've frequented it a lot. Lot of stock classes running
It's a good show, I went two in a row and enjoyed it and other than the Little 500 where do you get more than 30-40 laps sprint car race?

However, I wouldn't miss Midget Week at Burg for it if Paragon was my local track. No put down intended, Just midget week at Burg has always been a action packed show since the 3/8ths.

Good racing.This could possibly be the last Amati race with track being on the market.

That's true. I'm pretty sure it is going to be sold even if not for the purpose of racing. I sure hope not.

Thursday, Friday and Sunday I'll be at Midget Week, but Saturday I'll be here. I won't miss the Chuck Amati Classic.
