I'm planning on #4, would love to do ISW, conflicts with other stuff. But my big new event this summer will be Indiana Midget Week, guys on this board have been recommending it for a while. I'm gonna hit 2 NSL races, Lawrenceburg WoO, & IMW on my drive from Denver to East Coast this spring (God willin' & the creek don't rise...)
I'm curious about Silver Crown, but they're big 360s, so???? Might fit that one in....
Same with Super Mods, never seen them, interested in the cars (fast!), but I don't like pavement....

Doing 1,2,4,& 5. Will get my Kokomo fix the night of the 500 on our way back to PA after being in Indiana from May 25 to May 30. If I need a fifth event it will be Williams Grove on April 29 for the "Tommy Classic" and then to Toledo for the Silver Crown and pavement sprint show the next night. Plan to be at all of the USAC Sprint and Midget shows in PA and NJ. Hope to hit some BOSS shows when they hit western PA. Looks like a great year for us non-wing fans here in the East.

It's not a bucket list, but a wish list:

1. No rain-outs

IMW is a good deal, a lot of times it's like a mini-Indiana Sprint Week by default.

Montpelier, Gas City, Putnamville, Lawrenceburg and Kokomo all have sprints on their schedules on the nights they host USAC midgets for Indiana Midget Week so you'll have some guys pulling double duty plus a lot of the 410 track regulars.

This is going to sound like sacrilege to most on here but I’m hitting some pavement tracks in 2016 that have been on my bucket list for years. A trip to the New England is in order so visits to Stafford CT, Seekonk MA, Monadnock NH, and Oxford Plains ME are on the schedule. Supers at Sandusky and Toledo are planned too. I’m also looking forward to seeing the Silver Crown cars at Salem. Just need a change of scenery.

I haven’t abandoned dirt entirely. I plan to see a race at Millstream for the first time. Also W.A.R. at Belle-Clair sounds like it could be really interesting. And I’m hoping third time’s the charm for POWRi at Fairbury.

While you are in the New England area,you might as well hit up Thunder Road in Barre,Vermont on a Thursday night. Its a cool track. Never been to a regular show there,but have been there for the Milk Bowl a couple times,and the ACT tour many years ago when they were real late models. I might venture over for WAR myself at Little Belleville. Hoping for Fairbury,long drive home in the rain last yr. Have to check out Millstream too. Stubb took me there when I stopped into his house in Findlay a couple years ago.

1 Any time POWRI is at Little Belleville.
2 POWRi Speedweek (Illinois Midget Week)
3 Kokomo Smackdown My neighbor when I was growing up in Maine is coming out this year for it. His parents took me to Oxford Plains Speedway when I was a kid,and thats how I got into racing.Havent been to any sprint car races with him in years,so it will be good to get him to a non wing race. He's been to see winged racing with me before in years past.
4 Might hit either USAC midgets in Pa. or head West for POWRi west speedweek. Like to see USAC midgets at Path Valley,but I could get in more new tracks out west. Same week..decisions decisions....
5 Thinking about going to Arizona,and then over to the Oval Nationals. I want to go see the racing museums in Pasa Robles California,and the one in Phoenix as well. I always stop in at the NHRA museum in Pomona while out there,and also the Justice Brothers museum as well.

1. Silver Crown at Indy Mile
2. Little 500
3. Indy 500
4. Midgets at The Ditch in West Memphis (home track)
5. Flat Track Motorcycles at Springfield Mile
6. Formula 1 at Austin, TX COTA
7. Indoors Latemodels and Modified in STL.

As of now, I have the first 4 in stone as well as the last one. The Flat track motorcycles and Formula 1 will be determined by time off work, school schedule, and money.

Next year I have plans to add Knoxville Nationals, World 100, and 24 hours of Daytona to my list.
