Are there any pavement midget races/series still being run? Anyone know of any plans for pavement midget races for 2017?

Not sure where you are located at but I know these run out at the Speedrome.

This is a new pavement midget series that I am a part of.

When did a 1/4 mile track open up in Kalamazoo? Hope it not running on the same night as the 3/8 Kalamazoo speedway runs.

Chop, I believe he is referring to the only full size track they have. It's advertised as a "3/8" but with all the laps I've had there and growing up there, I'd say the race line is closer to a 1/4 mile. As well a friend of mine rode his motorcycle around there one night and the trip meter barely hit the 3 tenths mark.
