Followed by a trip with my wife to WI the next weekend. If all goes well, I will hit 5 new tracks in 10 days. Haven't done that in a while.
In July, I plan on going to Macon for USAC Sprints. Saw a really good POWRi midget race there last year, and have always wondered what Sprints would be like there. $10,000 to win the second night, should be good. My first time at Macon was the famous Jack Hewitt night.
In August, the Jason Leffler race at Wayne County, Tony Bettenhausen 100 at Springfield the next day, followed by USAC Midgets that night at Macon. then the next week is the Smackdown for $30,000 to win. If I haven't broke the bank, or wore myself out, a Silver Crown, IndyCar double header is at St Louis the next evening. I really like Silver Crown cars there.
Still plan on the week of Indy, Little 500, most of midget and sprint weeks, BC 39, James Dean Classic, followed by the 4 crown. Hoping this is a good year for everyone. Anyone have anything they are looking forward to?
60 "old"????.... you're just a young whippersnapper. Knowing that you're coming to Eastern Storm makes my attendance mandatory. Not the whole thing tho, can't leave my 100 yr.old Mom alone for too long.... now thats OLD!

I really wanted to do Belleville, but one daughter graduates from college then, and the other has to be in Finland. That means i will probably help with my Grandson. He would love to go, but will still be in school.
I have already said that I am looking forward to this season but it is especially so because I have been telling my wife for years that I wanted to follow Indiana Sprint week and this year I am. I went out and bought a truck and a camper and if I have any money left at all for gas I will be towing west for the series. We are also planning on the Knoxville USAC race. Hoping to add Knoxville, Haubstadt, Circle City and Florence to my been to list this year.
I will be on at a later date looking for tips and advice for my week and a half trip into the new idea of camping at all of the tracks.
