Is there a list of drivers entered so far

There's a Powri race scheduled for October 6th too.. That will definitely hurt the car counts. Why can't midget groups work together?

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

Not as much as you think, I think there were 8-10 Powri regulars that ran last year. There will still be plenty of midgets Saturday night. I just wished they had decided to run the rained out USAC sprint show makeup with the midgets on Friday or Saturday night

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

For anybody who has in money left in their racing budgets, the Gold Crown is a must see.

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

Agreed. We're going back for our 3rd time. Wide, fast race track. Saw more slide jobs during the feature last year than we had seen all summer! Glad they kept non-wing sprints as the support class.

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

I agree,made the trip from California last year,will be there this year.:8:

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

I know of 5 ARDC teams that are making the trip [maybe as many as 8] can't wait for my #2 gold crown!:8:

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

For me it always means that racing season is at it's end. Wow, what a way to cap it off, though. It is some of the best racing all year. Really looking forward to it.

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

The weather forecast is looking great for the Gold Crown!!

See you at the races, Kevin

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri

anyone in the greater cinci area interested in splitting traveling n room expense for this:8:(i can be reached at johnnythunderhead@yahoo.com)

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

This is a must see for me every year!

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

I don't remember POWRI ever being at Gas City. When was it? I am there a lot on Fridays and don't remember this show. I could be wrong. What year was it?

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

POWRi has never raced a lap in Indiana AFAIK (stand alone show with no co-sanction) with the exception of Haubstadt several years ago.

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

Think he was thinking of ford focus . they're here tomorrow night also .

Re: "Gold Crown Midget Nationals" Oct 4,5 & 6 Tri
 

What on earth does a Ford Focus race at Gas City have to do with one of the events of the year, the Gold Crown Nationals? This isn't even apples and oranges. At least they are both fruits.

Anyone know the cooler policy? I seem to remember no booze, but am not sure.

No coolers allowed. It's in Illinois....:3:
