USAC in Wisconsin - 2008
 

Speculation over on Midget Madness is that USAC will have four midget events in Wisconsin next May. Rumor is that 3 will be on pavement and 1 on dirt. We'll have to wait and see.

Thanks Dwight. I'll go over to the midget board and check that out. :thumb:

Cool!! Thanks Dwight!!:applaud:

There is talk now that the three pavement dates have been selected. If true the USAC midgets will be at LaCrosse on Friday, May 16, Slinger on Saturday, May 17, and the legendary 1/4 mile at Rockford, IL on Sunday, May 18, a day show. I hope it is true as I have always wanted to go to Rockford for a show.:thumb:

If it is true, I'll join you there!!:applaud:

That sounds like a great road trip. I would certainly like to see them race in these three places. I've already got it on my calendar. Please keep us up to date on any other news.

I'm confused( happens alot), does this mean that USAC will not be running all of the co[sanctioned dirt races in Wisc. like they did this year?

Re: USAC in Wisconsin - 2008
 

I don't think that this has anything to do with the dirt races up there. This is a seperate deal entirely.

Here's my question....where are all the cars going to come from?:confused:

The Rockford and the Slinger show should be good car counts i guess but that LaCrosse one seems awful risky to me. LaCrosse is about 4 hours from here in Plymouth and the race is a Friday night. We will see how it shapes up but it's hard for me to get excited about a race that's not on dirt.

Rockford puts on a great midget race but has not drawn very good fields or crowds for the many of the races over the past 20 years.

Tim,
Suck it up and take the trip to Lacrosse. They have beer in that town too. Is it really 4 hours for you? I can usually make it from the Madison area in about 2 1/2. I am hoping to make 2 shows that weekend. I don't think I would make the Sunday show and be back in time to work at AP.

You never know here in Wisconsin, might have to grade the track with a snowplow! My Dad always leaves his snowmobile suit in the van until the 4th of July! It seems like the summers are now down to just 2 months here, July and August. That :censor: sucks!

I went to a USAC show at Rockford A LOOOONG time ago when the engine of choice was the VW. I've always enjoyed that track because it's usually good racin'!!! I'll be there!!:checkered::foxcostanbrough:

Make it 3 on dirt and one on Pavement and I will consider making the trip...:)

Supposedly that will be the number of USAC midget shows in Wisconsin. Just not on the same weekend.

Yes it does take 4 hours to get to LaCrosse from Plymouth and i'm not sucking up a day of vacation for that. My Dad also said he's not going that far for pavement either. Bring on the dirt! :action-smiley-049:
