USAC Midget Week @ Lawrenceburg
 

“BY Dick Jordan: Tracy Hines of New Castle, Ind. hopes to parlay this week’s five-race “Indiana Midget Week” series into a giant leap toward what would be the final leg of his personal USAC “Triple Crown” quest.

Despite winning last year’s “Indiana Midget Week” title, Hines fell one point shy of Cole Whitt in the final Mopar National Midget Series standings.

Hines coupled a second, third, fourth and seventh in last year’s “Indiana Midget Week” races to claim the title and he hopes to match Shane Cottle’s 2005-2006 back-to-back championships. Jerry Coons Jr. won the 2007 “Indiana Midget Week” title.

Hines is still seeking his initial feature win during “Indiana Midget Week.” The previous 13 events have produced 11 different winners, only Cottle and Davey Ray having been able to repeat.

Wednesday night’s opener is at Gas City I-69 Speedway, while Thursday’s race is at Twin Cities Raceway Park in North Vernon. Bloomington Speedway hosts Friday night’s race, while the series travels to Lawrenceburg Speedway Saturday and concludes Sunday night at Kokomo Speedway.

Brad Kuhn (Gas City), Davey Ray (Bloomington), Brad Sweet (Lawrenceburg) and Bryan Clauson (Kokomo) are the defending race winners.

Both Hines and his Tony Stewart Racing teammate, Levi Jones, are among the “top-10” in the current USAC Mopar National Midget Series points.

It's looking good for me to make my first visit to the Burg! :6: Now all i need is two seats in section 8......oh, i mean section A. :5:

Re: USAC Midget Week @ Lawrenceburg
 

Tim,

Since I won't be there you can have mine and Kelly's. Be aware though that Kelly has a choice seat not far from Mr. Fishburger while I on the other hand am in the penalty box.:5::11;:5::17:

Re: USAC Midget Week @ Lawrenceburg
 

:6: We gotcha covered Tim. Don't forget to bring an extra five for 50-50 tickets. ;)

"section 8" ????? There are no Corporal Klingers in this crowd. :2:

Re: USAC Midget Week @ Lawrenceburg
 

Come on down Tim. IM sure you'll have a great time at the best facility I've seen.

As for section A. BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID! Wear body armor and bring lots of $$ for the 50/50 girls, You won't be watching the racing :)

Here is Section A

Re: USAC Midget Week @ Lawrenceburg
 

That's why i said section 8!!! Looks like i'm in over my head here but i want the section A experience. A new track, 50/50 girls, and a seat near the BIG FISH. Oh yeah, maybe a couple of BEER'S thrown in to.

Re: USAC Midget Week @ Lawrenceburg
 

Glad you are gonna make it Tim. To be honest, the section "A" crowd gets roughed up a bit sometimes, but you will not find better and more knowledgeable open wheel fans anywhere. And sitting with those guys will be an unforgetable evening, kinda like Bluto in the movie Animal House!!!! ( and DO NOT spend everything on 50/50, you may need bail money ):14:

Dave Rudisell,

Thank god you posted we were starting to get worried about you. I hadn't seen any posts all week from ya. I didn't know if you were still recovering from this past weekend or you made so much money that you went south and bought your own personal island.
