Yet there is no Xtreme sprint cars in 2023 apparently. Just like I posted. Volusia will get some USACers and others I think it helps with the number of cars willing to travel having five races vs three.

From memory the first year the Gold Crown was a POWRi race,then the 2nd I think it was co sanctioned with USAC,then a USAC race from then on.

LOts of people were not happy with Little Belleville going against the Gold Crown. I even e-mailed POWRi asking if they could move their date,and in the same e-mail I inquired if they had ever thought of having a midget week.

Kenny Brown e-mailed me back and I later talked to him on the phone,and he told me why they couldnt move the date,etc etc. He was interested in a midget week,so we talked about that,and it happened the next year and every year since then.

Any long time readers here would know that I loved Little Belleville and made my racing schedule around when they raced midgets there. I was told by one member here that I wasnt a real race fan in choosing to go to Little Belleville instead of the Gold Crown. That night I went to Little Belleville,and was gonna head home,and then I thought I hadnt heard anything from Monica Clauson,so I went to Tri City and arrived just in time for the 4 wide parade lap. So I got to see 2 midget features that night,one of the many times over the years that I have done 2 races in one day.

Now the guy that said I wasnt a real fan,I saw running to the parking lot with about 4 to go apparently to beat the rush out of the parking lot on the way home........

There is a good base of non wing cars in the area. The area fan base has always supported big non wing shows. Casey Shuman is a huge and welcome addition to the track management team. Let's hope we soon see the return of the Ron Shuman Classic and see someone win that Pedal Car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG0ldABb8U0&t=511s

I wouldnt mind seeing 3 races in one swing,I-70,US 36 and Lakeside. If they wanted to add a 4th race,I would just as soon go to Eagle again too.... Theres my weeks picks in a pinch.....Not that it will happen but.....

Three great tracks and all three are within 45 minutes from my house. Let's make it happen.

Is Eagle still open?

As far as I know, Eagle is still running. Nearby I-80 just closed down though.

I can’t remember if they were scheduled for this past year or not. Saw a great midget race at US 36 ages ago.

Yes it was I-80,which isnt very far from Eagle Raceway. I-80 had Tour N' Topless races there after Knoxville for a few years,and I would hit those along the way to the finale at Lakeside.

Another good thing about having a race at Eagle,is the Speedway Motors museum is just down the road a few miles to the west,and that should be on every race fans hitlist....
