I really really want to get to Bloomington this trip as I got rained on last year.
So I'm hoping to pick up some advice or tips on Midget Week. How's the car count, and how does this series differ from Sprint Week? How does the weather differ from June to July? Also is the price to get in the same or less for Midget week.
Thanks,

David,
Midget week would give you the better bang for your buck. It has the USAC National Midget Series along with a local sprint car show. Many of the sprint car drivers from USAC run locally when not competing on the tour. The grandstands aren't quite as full so you can generally find a good seat even if you get there late. Also, Indiana weather is cooler and not as humid normally in June than in July. I enjoy both sprint week and midget week but with midget week you get to see both sprints and midgets where as sprint week you don't get to see the midgets.
With your planned schedule, you will get to see three great tracks as well. Bloomington, Lawrenceburg and Kokomo offer great racing at a very affordable price. Hope to see you in Indiana during either sprint or midget week.
