I was really hoping this race would get enough cars for a descent race. I think the outcome was better than expected considering the rain that messed with the area on Saturday. Maybe there's hope for a rebirth of ARDC.

Are they calling it ARDC still? Or is un-sanctioned really?

This one was un-sanctioned, but there is talk/hope that some form of ARDC will return.

Looks like a good car count. How is it that 3 more cars made the A-main that what did time trials. Did we have some late arrivals, or did some people have a spare car that they put into the race?

A few late arrivals..only a handful of competitive cars but Buckwalter in a midget is always fun to watch.Alex Bright coming from last was entertaining...all in all a good show

I was more than pleasantly suprised with the car count. I want to thank the Mausteller family and everyone else involved with getting these cars back on the tracks. I know a a lot of people that are super happy to see that the ARDC might still survive.

Big thanks to the Shannon Mausteller for his efforts to promote the race at Lincoln. For those PA midget racers looking for more action, this is a big weekend of grass roots midget racing in Indiana - Friday night 'Open Wheel Madness' at Gas City Speedway - Montpelier Midget Series rules (open midgets, SpeeD2, and upright mini sprints welcome). Bonus to top finishing USAC Midwest Thunder Midget series legal SpeeD2 car. Night two on Saturday at Montpelier Speedway, just 20 miles up the road as Montpelier Midget Series kicks off 2019 after two rainouts. Twice the racing for your gas money!

The track moved up the start time by two hours to beat the rain. It was a pretty iffy day weather wise.
