Jacksonville and Granite City for sure. They have proved that they have the skill and the will to put on excellent non-wing shows. From another post, it looks like Indiana Midget Week might be the second week of June. I agree, however, that earlier in the season is better. If it is Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I agree with moving toward Indiana so the teams can get to Kokomo on Sunday night without too long a tow. Danville, Farmer City, Fairbury or Kankakee would do that. Does Lincoln have enough stands to support a big purse without a high ticket/pit pass price? Don't know, just asking. Macon would seem to be a bit wee.

I love the idea. Right now Jacksonville is the only thing which open-wheel fans have and more would certainly be nice.
