Just curious here, but why are they not racing the entire month of August? Has it always been that way? I absolutely love that track!

Re: Kokomo bob darland memorial
 

No, I believe this is the first year they have done this. The reasoniong behind it, is the attendance really drops off after the schools start up in August. Track owner actually saves money instead of losing it!

Attendance and car count dropped off after school started last year. That doesnt account for the 1st 2 weeks of August but it does for the last 2 weeks. I heard a few of them were going on vacation after this weeks raceso we dont get back 2 of those rainouts :13:

I think me, the wife and a couple friends will be there. Looking forward to it. Love the midgets they just dont run around here like they used to when I was a kid. And thats not at all saying I dont love those Sprint cars also. LOL. Just being clear on that.:2:

When does school start in the Kokomo area?

I think most of them start around the 9th. For some strange reason my old high school is starting the 2nd, which is just crazy imo.

Wow that's awful early isn't it? Here our kids don't start until after labor day and they are done during the second week of June.

That's the way it was in upstate NY (week afer labor day to June 20 something), where I grew up. August-May is just weird.
