Annnddddd, KC is two hours east of Cincy and I would think most of them are already there.

I will gladly sit through a tractor show at Haubstadt. Track is known for three grooves and that is what Mr. Helfrich is going to give to the fans to watch. Tom Helfrich should give seminars to other tracks about how to put on a good show. I have been going to Haubstadt for 25 years and I have never been disappointed. Quite possibly the best dirt track in the country....IMO.

There are bigger facilities to be found but none of them can produce an A-Main like Tri-State.

Tracks great, everyone should see it at least once!
I have been going to Haubstadt since it opened and its never had a 45 minute track prep Have many beers did you have that night lol

Well it all seemed to work pretty well. I think I am pretty close here. Eldora 24, Put 24, TSS 28, Paragon 27, burg 19 thats 122 right there and if you throw in the 14 Indiana based cars of the 19 that showed at KC before the rainout thats 136 sprint cars out tonight. Pretty damn good for a time of year that the car counts usually start to fade.
