I spent the summer of 2008 in Southern Wisconsin and fell in love with Angell Park and Badger midgets. That was around the time that Badger started talking seriously about something having to...

I know that I was the guy that asked the question about car counts, but I hate this solution. I strongly agree that we need to have a stabilized spec engine class for midgets. I would also argue...

Any thoughts on the midget count for Xtreme in Kansas this weekend. I was shocked that POWRi could only pull 7 for Lucas Oil Speedway last weekend. I remember when the Spring POWRi dates in...

The race is at Lakeside Speedway which is in Kansas City, KS. The weather forecast for Friday is marginal, and the forecast for Saturday is bad. We have also had a lot of moisture the last couple...

Your statement is correct, but it is not an unsurmountable obstacle. There are plenty of tracks that are special event only tracks and they can figure out a way to make it happen.

Obviously, the...

I have resisted getting a streaming service because I enjoy being at the track so much more than watching on TV. However, when my daughter asked to get a streaming service to watch her sport,...

I know that this was mentioned earlier, but one assumption is that USAC is leasing the track directly from the owners for their scheduled dates, and was going to be the promoter of the races...

Updated my list and using the TrackChaser guidelines, my new total is now 95 tracks. It was a lot more fun that I thought it was going to be to research some of the old tracks. It also brought up a...

Did not know that there was a group with rules. Will have to work on my list this afternoon. By using the rules listed my count will go up, but for the race chaser group it may go down. There...

So, I know many of us keep records on all of the tracks we have visited. (My number is 93), but I have some questions about how you classify some situations.

1. The race track has two tracks at...

It was featured on one of Dale Jr's. Lost Speedway series. Quite honestly, I know that it has a history, but I don't understand why someone would want to bring it back to life. It seemed like...

Paducah is 6 hours away from Kansas City. I hope they have another group that is going to help with the wingless car count.

I guess I will be making a return trip to Nevada.

This is definitely testing my love affair with midgets.

I would not change a thing. I know a lot of people want to move the lower mains to Friday. If they did this, many fans would stay away. Knoxville had issues getting people to Friday for many...

I guess it is all depends on where you start from. :31:

Lucas Oil and Lake Ozark are usually 2.5 to 3 hours for me. Also both tend to do a lot of farming at intermission which can drag a show...

This is not the old WAR series. This series split off from WAR several years ago. It appeared that WAR wanted to grow regionally and MWRA wanted to stay closer to the Kansas City base. When you...

I don't know which is stranger. The fact that POWRi buried this headline on releasing it on the day that it did with so many people on vacation and consumed with Christmas. Or the fact that they...

At some point relatively soon, a series will go all electric. Win on Sunday sale on Monday still applies. GM stated vision is to have an all electric fleet by 2035.
