Where is Everyone Going?
 

Where will all of you be this weekend? I'll be at Gas City for the Jack Himelick Fall Final tonight, the 'Burg for the $10k to win MSCS show tomorrow, and, after a quick AM stop at the IMS museum Sunday morning, at Anderson for the USAC Kenyon and Ford Focus midgets. Hope to see many of you at one or all of them.:thumb:

:thumb:The wife and I are leaving for the 'BURG at 7am Saturday morning. Been getting ready for this one all summer. The dogs Sonny and Hewitt are coming too! GO Dickie and Levi !!!!:pissonwings:

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

If things work out right, I might be at Anderson on Sunday.

You may get to see some passing in the Kenyon race, 1st and 2nd in points will not be at Anderson tomorrow for qual. and heats and will start from the tail Sunday.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

I'm leaving Springfield as soon as I can get out of the house to go to Gas City tonight and the Berg tomorrow night. Then back to Illinois to Granite City for POWRi midgets. Hope to see some of you at all three. Have a great racing weekend!

Burg, Section H Top row, seat 6-7-8 brother and uncle. Stop by Dwight, Haven't seen you since Gas City Border wars.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

50/50 chance I'll be at the 'burg Saturday.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Gas City only for me.

A friend is getting married tomorrow so I can't make the Burg. I hate when people don't check with me when they set dates for things. Nothing from April to October. There's also a week in January that is blacked out. :)

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

i think i will just stay home and watch the live updates on the computer. its gonna be to hot for me to got to any races. :rolling::rolling:

Seems to me you need to rearrange your priorities.

Wedding, Racing. No brainer it is RACINNG.

I have missed several weddings because of racing and my friends that really know me understand.

Goin' to Da' Burg.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Gas City tonight and tomorrow Miami County Speedway for the Outlaw 600's. Went to this show last year and it was great.

Have to shake things up a bit you know.

Same here mudclodbob the City tonight and Peru tomorrow night, look me up non wing #14 just like the pic.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Gotta work on Saturday, but can't wait for Granite City on Sunday. First time at the new 3/8. I've heard great things about it. I will miss the half, though.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

An all sprint weekend. We're going to Gas City and then The Burg. My guess is 50+ car counts, both nights.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Gas City & the 'burg. Doubt if you get more than 35 cars Saturday, they are offering too much money, if it were $1200 to win there would be 80 :rolling:

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

haha yeah...it must have been a type-o when they said there were 70 cars at the burg last year for the 10K to win show huh?

Actually I believe there were 74 cars last year on Saturday night, as it was a two day show in 06.:Steer

Totally agree on that. I've gotten out of a few in the past for racing purposes. Just wasn't going to work this time.

Ditto for me.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

I guess it's gonna be the Queen's Royale at Farmington for me on Sat.:loser: Haven't been there this year and I feel the need to maintain my social graces there lol! Sure wish it was on a different weekend this year as I would love to hit Belle-Clair! I cut down my racing schedule this year by almost half and did not get to see as many midget events as I wanted to dang it!

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Super Dirt Week...........Here in Syracuse.:thumb:

Where the heck were you in 1961? On August 4, 1961 A.J. Foyt won a USAC Midget feature at Lawrenceburg. I missed it because I was at a wedding rehearsal 4 miles up the road in Elizabethtown, OH. I swear I could hear those Offy 110's purring as I was being told where to stand to say "I Do". That marriage never had a chance though it did last 13 years. Turned out that Mrs. FB #1 loved racing too but had very little use for me. It's all good though. Mrs. FB of the past 32 years doesn't go racing with me. Just tells me to "have a good time but don't get dirty". Then takes great care of me when I get home. Much better this way, doncha think? :wink1:

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

I'll be at Belle-Clair and Tri City this weekend. Should be a ton of micros at Belleville. I believe that last year for the October show, over 60 of the winged 600cc outlaws showed up. There are a couple of $500 to win micro shows going on in Charleston, IL and Peru, IN Saturday night, but I honestly don't think they'll hurt Belleville's count too badly. Plus Farmington, MO isn't running the micros this week, so that should help.

You've been married 32 years. I've been married 32 years. My wife says have fun and be careful while yours says something similar. Coincidence? I think not.

I'm hoping that the new Mrs. Hoover learns from our wives, Mr. MF.

See y'all at the 'burg.

Yep, and I'm gonna be one until I'm a dead old man.

BTW, Mickey Gilley says "Hi".

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Probably best. Im sure he'd get a few slaps everytime the 50-50 gal came round :)

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Leaving in one hour to go to the WoO in Princeton, MN. Wife wanted to visit her sister in Iowa, looked it up on a map and only a 3 1/2 hr drive from her house.:applaud:

Thanks...but I was just trying to make the point that at the burg, just because they are paying 10K and several good drivers will be on hand, that doesnt mean they won't have many cars...but thanks for the correction :). Just tryin to make a point...

See y'all at the 'burg.

I have to chime in on this one, my wife and I have been married for 31 years, and she tells me to have fun while I am out racing, she calls it "male bonding" She tries to wait up on me, always leaves the light one and wants to know race results when I get home.:thumb:

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

I hope to make it to the Burg. Ballou may be hard to beat, but the 1/4 mile is gonna make him work a lot harder for the win!

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

ill be at the burg...cant wait

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Making my first trip to Twin Cities to wrench on my man Nick's 88s mini........

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Hi Everybody,
I know most of you will be at the Burg but I'm headed to Bellville,Il & TriCity for the Powri-midgets.
I hope theres no rain as its been plenty warm up here.
Any of you going to do the 2 day Kokomo Klash? It would be worth the trip if the weather holds as thats gonna be it for open wheel here in the midwest till 2008.
No work scheduled so I'm there!
Hope I see some of ya.
Your friend Rich

Rich,

I'll look for you at Belle-Clair and Tri-City! Supposed to be record heat; an appropriate way to end the season. Don't know if I'll do Kokomo or not. If I do, it would only be for one day.

Re: Where is Everyone Going?
 

Farmington,MO for our big Queens Royal race and maybe Granite City Sunday night!

If you need one more open wheel fix before the winter indoor stuff starts, the POWRi micros final show of the season is Oct. 20 at Wayne City Speedway.
