Hi, new to this forum and hoping for a few tips on my first Midget Week. This will be a major road trip for me. I will be leaving south PA and heading to Knoxville for the USAC show, then going back east to enjoy midget week.
I will be leaving PA on June 1st and hoping to make it out to Illinois by Thursday evening and stopping for the night maybe near Bloomington, Champaign, or Peoria. I was wondering if there is a Friday night sprint or midget race in one of those areas?
Saturday will be my first visit to Knoxville and I hope to be there in time for the Induction ceremonies and luncheon.
After I leave Knoxville and head east I would like to visit some of the tracks I have only read about, I know there won't be racing at these tracks but they are Terre Haute, Salem, IMS and the museum, Anderson, Winchester. I'm hoping to visit some of these tracks during my midget week travels.
I also plan on buying a non resident fishing license and wetting a line during non race times, any locations to fish would be greatly appreciated.
I also need to know the basics of Indiana Midget Week, such as camping info, good motels, "must see" things while I'm in the area.
I will be thankful for any advice!
