Midgets at Lawrence County fair

ByronMack · 7/1/11, 12:58 AM

Saw a flyer today for the fair, and they were advertising midgets and mini sprints. Just wondering if anyone knew anything about this, can't imagine them having many, if any midgets show up. Not much in the way of a track at the fairgrounds.

Where is Lawrence County Fair? And what are the dates for these races?

Don, if my memory serves me right, it's just outside of Bedford, where 50 and 37 split, 50 takes you right past it. We used to run Karts there, kinda small, maybe too small, but could be fun, but, I can't imagine very many, and not much purse! Bob!

nothing on there about Midgets or Mini Sprints that I could find, just go carts and the normal demo derby.....

The flyer they have hung up at work has midgets and "mini cars" listed for Sunday the 10th. They have a picture of a midget on the flyer,doesn't have payout or any other info. I know the track they use for gocart races is pretty small, couldn't imagine running midgets on it.

I have heard a few things about this race and it is going to be TQ Midgets and Mini Sprints. Not sure on the mini sprints if it is actually going to be mini sprints or 600 sidewinders.

The race is being put on by a very good promoter and he also knows how to build a nice track. From what I have heard he is going to use more of the space then they normally use so the track will be bigger then normal.

Who is the promoter? As far as I know, the TQ's haven't been made aware of this. Just curious! Bob!

Terry Eaglin is the promoter and it is a non sanctioned event. From what I was told he has passed out flyers letting people know about it at the past few TQ races.

I take back the part that the TQ's haven't been made aware of this race, they have, they just "forgot". Anyone got anymore info, they "forgot"? Bob
