I just spent a very pleasant interlude sitting on the hill above the track upon which USAC midgets will race this coming Monday, July 3. If you haven't made up your mind, I strongly encourage you to come. There are grandstands both at the top of the hill and midway down. There is plenty of seating on the hillside, with lots of good shade. It was 90 when I was there and still very comfortable. I was told the track is like the Chili Bowl but a little longer. Sight lines are great. The track is just south of the Orr Building, so the parking around there should be more than adequate. Pits will be at each end of the track, which runs east/west, and we should be able to watch all the action in the pits also. I understand that both the usual exciting drivers plus Christopher and Rico are expected. Illinois fans, lets give this race (and Macon and Lincoln) strong support and hope this can become an annual event. All other midget fans, come to central Illinois and see some great racing. I'm excited. This should be a really good weekend.
