I've also had these dates on my calendar since the schedule came out. I frequently travel to Illinois to watch POWRi. They have a well run production. They bring their own push vehicles to every race,they have their own announcer (Jim Childers) that gets the crowd involved,their own Pastor, (Joe Chetta who is usually the first to arrive to any crash scene) Their own track workers that get the program moving quickly and efficiently after any crashes etc.They also at every race recognize people that are serving,or have served our country,a class act in my book.

I've been going over to Illinois,and beyond to watch POWRi races since the first one I saw in 2006.I'm sure sometimes people think I am nuts do drive miles away from home,when there is plenty of racing closer by.

This is my rule of thumb for going to the races. Usually I go to where I think the best race will be held. Sometimes the weather interferes with that,so I have to opt for plan B. Sometimes I go where the best social scene will be. Sometimes my wallet dictates where I go. So for me to drive quite a ways out of my backyard to see a race,says something about the quality of racing they serve up.

I'm hoping for a good weekend of racing this weekend with POWRi midgets in Indiana!
