I’m not sure who is promoting the race, but they don’t seem to be doing much to draw a crowd. With it being a end of the year race, announced pretty late, you’d think they’d be trying to spread the word about it. Other than write ups mentioning Bell and Briscoe racing, I’ve basically seen nothing about the race lately and it’s already Wednesday night, only a couple more nights til race day. No idea about who is racing other than 2 or 3 cars, no order of events posted. USAC hasn’t posted and article previewing the event... For this time of year it’s a pretty major race, you’d think people would be talking about it more... |

Considering going, long trip from Ohio though, don’t mind traveling, just went to western world in AZ last month, but I sure wish there was more stuff out there to promote this event... Like some expected drivers, or an idea of the car count, etc... Am I making the big drive for 10 midgets? 20 midgets? 30? I have no idea... Lack of info/promotion makes me hesitant to make the trip... |

Dirt draft currently has 34 drivers to chose from. Now that’s not final as a few may not show up or someone may decide to enter late. Notables listed are Bell, Briscoe, Thorson, Daum, Moles, Neuman, Robinson, Crum, Johnson, Berryhill, Jordan Kinser ( driving Briscoe car), Babb and Cromwell. And Kayla Roell, who Jerry Shaw likes as someone to keep eye on, which he’s usually right.

I see they are having a lot of mini-sprint racing Friday with their features on Saturday with USAC. The ad I saw said $8000 grand prize? I would think 30 plus midgets if that is to win. T-Mez is entered at Ft. Wayne. I wonder if he is only there for Friday and runs Du Q Saturday.
