MOWA website does not have any info on payout or tire rule. I have never run a MOWA show, but I love Danville. Does anyone know what the purse is? What is start money? Tow Money? And what tires you have to run?

This is great. I hope there is a good car count so it can become a weekly show. I have always liked this track. It has been a fast and competively track.

What is the policy on bringing coolers into the stands?

I can only speak on the past since I have been going there as a little kid they have always allowed coolers. But this is also a new promoter so I am not sure if this will be the case. Just glad to see some racing returning to the Danville area and I plan on attending this event.

We are looking forward to getting back over to Danville for this show. Always liked going over there. Hopefully a nice field of cars will be the start of something at Vermillion County Speedway.

This must be something new. Are they going to at least allow you to bring a can of pop or water with you to the stands?
