I was surprised Belle-Clair was not on the midget schedule. What's up with that?

I"m shocked no Little Belleville. Its been years ago was turned on to this track, and if midgets were running there, I was there. I even missed Haubstadt a couple of times to see midgets run that bull ring. Wonder whats the deal?

I asked the same question today to someone who’s been closely associated with belle-Claire for decades. His response-
the track needs tons of upgrading. fair board wont do it. promoter wont either. so it sits. degrading farther.

Just talked with a buddy who lives close to Little Belleville and he say basically same thing Chris said that since there was no racing there that there was no track care. Buddy said track is all rutted from rain and needs a lot of TLC. Sure hope it don"t close cuz it be such a shame!!

That would be the loss of a midget racing institution. What a shame if true.

Yep, saw my first ever POWRi Midget race there & it was great.... thanks to BrentTFunk for telling me about it. 600s were fun too. Neat old time covered grandstands....
Bummer....
