Years ago they ran the midgets at Fairbury American Legion Speedway and they put on a great show but that is hard core dirt latemodel territory and those shows never drew crowds like they should have.
I've watched the midgets at La Salle many years ago and they put on a great show there as well. It would be really nice to incorporate a Bob Tattersall Memorial Race into a Midget week with La Salle being less than 20 miles from Tatt's home town of Streator. Something like that is way overdue and Bob's widow Dee, who is still in remarkably good health, would be very excited as well.
I also attended a Badger show up at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds 1/2 mile in Pecotonica, IL and they were outstanding to watch there. It is a shame a facility of it's caliber sets idle.
