On one of those nights the temp was 105 and they went thru the stands handing out water..... From memory....
That was a late decision to run on Thursdays. I think if they had gotten the word out in the winter months,maybe it would have been better.

The Kutztown Pa. fairgrounds track has been running Wednesdays for the past few years with mini sprints, and other similar sized classes. From what I can see they do quite well. They are getting some of the best drivers in the area racing for a good purse, and with a short schedule during the summer it seems to draw a good crowd. I enjoyed the USAC midget show during their eastern swing on FLO.

The races in Michigan was called something like the "Michigan speedway promoters association" mspa. When I was a kid they had a race every weds night at a different Michigan track every week. It was a point series. At the end of the year they had a champion. It was a late model, stock car series. I can remember Chris Patterson was a champion one year. Gary Fedewa got to race at Michigan International speedway on a nascar weekend for being the last years champ. It was some type of Toyota pro- celebrity race. If I remember it right it had some old school beer company as a series sponsor. Think it was carling black label beer. Once or twice a year my Dad would take me to the close ones to home.
