Coming THIS Sunday, June 9th to VCS: The Powri-Lucas Oil National Midget Series "Illinois Midget Speed Week Finale!"

THE Vermilion County Speedway is getting set to host one of the biggest events in it's history when the POWRi-Lucas Oil National Midget Series arrives to do battle on Sunday evening, June 9th. Drivers from around the USA, and from as far away as England, and Australia, and New Zealand are expected to be in attendance to settle who will be the Inaugural "Illinois Midget Speed Week" Champion.

Along with the Lucas Oil Midgets, the POWRi-Speedwaymotors.com 600cc Outlaw Micro Series will be battling it out on the venerable old bull ring as well. Plus, the ultra competitive U.M.P. Modifieds will be putting it all on the line as well to see who can join Nick Allen, and Devin Gilpin as 2013 VCS Feature Winners. Also, by popular demand, the fender banging U.M.P. Stock Cars will be back in action. Who will be the next to join Jesse Simmons, and Jerrad Krick as 2013 VCS Feature Winners?

General admission for this big show is $20 for adults, Children 10 and under are FREE when accompanied by a paying adult. Pit passes are $30. The Pit Gate will open at 3PM Illinois time, and the Grandstands will open up at 4PM. Hot Laps are scheduled to begin at 6:30PM with racing to follow.

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

Do ya really think you need 4 classes on a sunday night when POWERi usually brings 30-40 midgets and 40-50 micros? Losing an hour going home and 4 classes makes me think twice about making the trip over.

Just spoke to VCS Promoter Bryan Clendenen, he said that the order of classes, including features, will run in this order: POWRi midgets, POWRi micros, U.M.P. Modified, U.M.P. Stock Cars. Our April 21st event had 75 sprint cars(4 classes, 120 cars total) in attendance, and yet racing was complete by 10:30PM. General admission for this Inaugural POWRi Illinois Midget Speed Week Finale is $20 with children 10 and under FREE. Every effort is made to expedite our shows, while providing an entertaining night of racing as well. Thanks!

Agreed. Too many classes. They'll have plenty of midgets and micros

Most tracks run the open wheels first then everything else and by the time it's done the open wheel drivers and cars are long gone. There's never a chance for kids to meet the drivers and sit in the cars like I did when I was a kid. There's no time trials or driver intros so most of the poweri shows I've been to I don't know who's in half the cars. Just a few thoughts.

Be even better since they do a 50/50, let fans in the pits for a 50/50 ticket. Then when they call for drivers meeting, we have to be out of pits. Just the way Gas City does it . Just a thought. Lloyd

Cry me a river you are getting old

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

No Bill, YOU are getting old, I just have to work the next day......do you still remember work? ;)

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

No john that is one of those four letter words lol

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

I know what work is,and I have to work the next day too.If its going to kill you missing a couple hours sleep a night or 2 per year,then stay home!! I'm still alive,and I think I have to be at work before you do on Monday morning,

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

I don't have to work but i'll be there .

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

I think I am old enough to make that decision on my own AQ, dont you think :D Got home at 1AM the 1st night they ran non-wingers and YOU stayed home because it was gonna run long with 2 push-off classes, Remember?

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

Yes I do remember,but I didnt get on here and ***** about why I didnt go that night. I thought it was to much of a good thing for a track that hasnt run that much in recent years to have 2 push start classes on the same night,and I QUIETLY decided to stay home instead.

This Sunday night though,there is just one push start class,POWRi brings a bunch of push vehicles with them to every race,and POWRi runs a good program without to much downtime.I'm willing to miss a bit of sleep for this race,basically in our back yard.

You know I miss a lot more sleep when I go to the Arnie Knepper Memorial race that was on a Sunday night last year. Its all about the desire,and how badly you want to see something on whether its worthwhile to you.

I am excited for my first trip to vcs sunday!!!

i probably did more work accidently than you do on purpose

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

Dont get too full of yourself big guy, the memory always goes 1st.

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

Danville may be the only show I get to due to work. Sooo grateful for a place to see a race on Sunday night.

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

Yes, but did you go to Bloomington (or sometimes Gas City), drive home and work up to 10 hours on a Saturday, then go to either the 'burg or LPS?

Oh, never mind. That memory thing. :D

The promoters' biggest headache, weather, will make the call for me.

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

yes i have on many occasions --- im one of the original tough guys lol

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

:43:::44: Better than the Funny Papers

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

:35:Uh, John, that may not be the case!
In fact, I am sure that there were things that left me before my memory ran off with the circus, but I just cannot seem to recall exactly what they might have been. I do know that my customary "falls asleep watching TV" time is now approaching sunset :D

Based on the radar to the west, I hope the show is moved along quick. Has to stay dry pretty late based on when the other shows have ended.

Just saw the hour by hour 70% chance of stuff at 7 ....was goin' to go , but may stay home with gas prices up. Lloyd

Per POWRi facebook page. Cancelled..

Well. This sucks

Posted via Mobile Device

Just saw it on Twitter too. I think it's the right call. I just don't think it will stay dry long enough. Sucks cause it was the one show I could make. Sounds like the whole event was great.

Hope for good weather this week.

Re: Powri at Danville this Sunday!
 

Thanks for lettin' us know. Hope to make maybe 2 Indiana midget week shows . Was going to go to 4, but gas prices put a brake on things. Lloyd

Does anyone know another race close by that may be worth attending now that powri have cancelled?

Thanks
Ash
