Thanks for any information!

I have enjoyed the racing at this track. The mini sprints put on a good show there. It is listed as a 3/8ths but the track doesn't have a lot of banking, so you won't see speeds like Lawrenceburg. A couple things to note, they usually do not sell beer, so if you want a cold one bring plenty(running out of beer before the heats are over is not a good thing). The seating is limited, so either show early or bring a lawn chair just in case. The track can get a little dusty so if that bothers you be prepared. As for car count, I don't know if midgets are running anywhere that night, it won't be for midget week points so I guess they are running for a standard USAC midget purse and points. I would expect all the USAC midget regulars there.

If you've never been there, and will be in the area for sprint week, go.

They'll for sure have a full feature field of quality cars (natl. midgets, anyway).

Chris, I guess we'll have to go on your recommendation. I'll pick you up. Dad
