Just announced by Rusty Kunz on a local radio station. They will have a USAC national midget race next July 3 (with the 4th as a rain date). It will be at the multi purpose arena on the Illinois State Fairgrounds. They didn't give details of track size, but I'd guess they could do a 1/4 mile at this facility. They have done flat track motorcycle races there as well as demo derbies, tractor pulls, etc.
Track will need to be built with temp walls probably like an outdoor DuQuoin. The facility is just an open area of dirt with no walls already there for racing. The bikes just use hay bales but obviously the midgets would need something more substantial. The seating area is top notch & it is a beautiful facility.
