Hello race fans,

We are streaming live video of tonight's USAC/POWRi National Midget event from Tri-State Speedway in Pontoon Beach, IL...We will also be covering the POWRi Micro Midgets and Monster Midwest Series Sprint Cars. Tune in now at:

Just for the record, we are using an unsteady Internet connection, shooting from the grandstands in a precarious position, and are using first time "announcer" Kirk Spridgeon to inform you of the goings on, as we have no direct connection to the Public Address system. Please be patient with us in this particular endeavor. We hope you enjoy tonight's broadcast, we will do our best. Thanks so much for your interest. Sincerely,

Dean Mills, Kirk Spridgeon and Chris Shearer
USAC Media Department

Spridge as announcer :2: Thanks guys we are all rained out back here at home

At this moment, at the bottom of my screen it says something about a Danica Patrick Honda movie, I have the PA announcer in my left ear, and some guy saying "check 1 2" in my right ear. Fortunately, there are midgets running hot laps in the middle of the screen.

I am curious when I click on the above link I get the Live video with the Twitter box on the bottom........When I click on this link....http://www.ustream.tv/channel/usac---pitpass/v3..... I still get the Live video but the twitter box is on the right?? The link I posted has people posting on Twitter about the race but the other link dont have people posting???? Not a biggie but I was just curious.

I just saw Jerry Shaw climbing the steps in the bleachers with a good sized helping of what may be nachos.:2:

just went off air?

Same here, off air.

Are you jealous Danny?

Sit down, Jerry!! This ain't no NA$CAR race. :2:

(Actually he was standing up during a caution for the supporting mini-sprints, waving his arms and maybe explaining something to Cathy.)

Weyant got in the fence and tore down one of the support cables. Looks like some downtime.
