Is Granite City Illinois. We are coming out for the whole Sprint Week. And we are thinking about giving up two Sprint Shows, for a Lucas Oil Late Model two day show at Granite City Il. TIA

Funkster how many Late Models you think GC will get...

It is approximately 2:20 from Terre Haute to Granite City @ 70-75 mph....:2:
Trust me, we've done it many times

Tri-City Speedway, Granite City, IL, is a little over 2 hours due west of Terre Haute. Get on I-70 west and you can't miss it. Track
is bad-fast and usually very smooth. This year they have all new concession stands and rest rooms. The Gold Crown Midget Nationals in October are a great three day show with a $15 thousand check for the Saturday night winner.

Thanks Dirtnut and Morty.

Dirtnut, we will probably do the three day Midget show in October. I hope..

Morty, are you up for a two day late model show..

Honestly, I haven't seen more than about 10 minutes worth in quite a few years....:2:

A 2-day show......mmmm...no.

Besides, we'll be at Brownstown an Bloomington.....see you during Sprintweek?

Coming out for sprint week but going to do Belleville and THAT first. Never been to Belleville anyone have any little do's or don'ts, Thanks

DO bring nice weather with you !
DONT bring any rain !

Little Belleville is very 1950s in appearance,but the racing is good. Its my fave outdoor midget track,and I try to get to every midget race there. There are bleachers on both the frontstretch and backstretch. I usually sit somewhere near Morty on the backstretch. Either set of bleachers are fine for viewing . You sit real close to the track in either set,as they are very steep bleachers,and you are right on top of the action.

I'm hoping for 40+ midgets,and they always get about 60 mini sprints there. Makes for a good double header.

Hope to see you there next week Mike. I'm heading over straight from work. Probably get there in time for hotlaps.
