Belle-Clair Questions

We're thinking about going to the Powri finals. We have never been there before. Can someone tell us the prices for general admission and pit passes. Is there good seating available from the pits. Are there inexpensive Motels in the area.

Thanks Dwayne

General admission is $12.00, pit passes are typically $30.00
The back straight grandstands are easily accessible from the pits
If you have never been there before, you will be more than happy with your decision to go.
The covered grandstands and close proximity to the race track makes it a great experience.
Motels shouldn't be a problem. Belleville is a relatively large city

Dwayne,
You will love Belle-Claire Speedway. Can't get much closer to the
track than you are here. Midgets and Micros both put on a great
show here. Track was built in 1948 for midgets. Original stands
are still there and will be long after we are gone. Sounds like a great
weekend as far as the weather is concerned.

What everyone else said. Its a cool track,my favorite. Bad races are the exception rather than the rule.

...and there are plenty of rooms in Collinsville,IL at I-70 and I-255 south, about 15 minutes from the track.
Wish we could be there Saturday night, it's always a good show...
