Three nights of midget racing at Granite City with a possibility of 60+ cars. This race looks like it could be the best race of the year. For the fans, the admission is very much in line. Twenty five for each of the two regular shows is not out of line, and thirty five for the big night is less than tickets for the Chili Bowl or any Outlaw event. For the car owners, one hundred dollars in advance for the three nights isn't that big of an increase, when POWRi owners pay twenty dollars for entry fees each night on regular shows. The pit passes were not inflated, so if the entry is paid ahead of the deadline the only additional cost is forty dollars. For the drivers, the best competition in the country will be there. The only complaint I can see will be the parking if you don't get there early.

By the way I don't work for the track or POWRi, but I would like to see this race have a chance. I do think POWRi and the good people at Tri City Speedway deserve a big pat on the back for taking a big chance promoting this race and I wish them success.

Are the prelim nights split or does everyone race? Believe I heard that the top three on Thurs. and Fri. advance to the featch on Sat. May have to make it up for a couple of nights.

I hope this event becomes a yearly event. It has the making of being a great tradition of which I can only make Saturday night but more than likely will be there for Saturday's final night.

I really need to get a job that stops constantly taking priority over racing.

I-55, for every show, always has family friendly ticket pricing with 12 and under free.

reads that 12 and under are free

I know (note the 7th post in this thread)...

They changed it, originally the post read 6-12 was five

I don't think the prices are out of line at all, if the purse is being paid from the front and back gates. Now, if they have a major title sponsor paying a majority of the purse? then, cut the customers a little break. My guess would be that they don't have that "sugar-daddy" sponsor. I hope it's a huge success.

I could have overlooked it, but I didn't see the starting times for the Saturday night race.
