August 9-Greater Cincinnati

Is it me or is the Greater Cincinnati area have too many races in one weekend.

Indycars @ Ky @ 6:30
USAC Midgets @ Lawrenceburg @ 7:00
Lucas Oil Dirt LM @ Florence (Y'all) Speedway @ 8:00

Well personally Id take the USAC Midgets and LBurg Chevy Sprints over the other two but to each their own.

Indys commin around. Florence is huggy pole track that becomes two groove after about 75 laps. It's ok.

Never too much racing!
Which ever you choose, Have fun

Chuck, planning on Union County Thurs, Bloomington for the first time in three years Friday. Cincy Zoo and Burg Sat with GF Will depend if I have to work manditory overtime if I make Gas City. That was a great show last year.

We'll be at Florence to watch the best of the best tin toppers battle for 50k. Last year's race was very good with racing both high and low. I've yet to make it down for a sprint car race but would like to see them there.

And don't forget...the World's Largest Yard Sale is that weekend too. Takes three times as long to get where you're going if you're on 127 :headbang

florance hands down! usac midgets are good, but right now i think the overall best traveling series is the lucus oil late models. Plus I can probably leave after the late model feature and still make it to the burg before they start their features.

They do run Saturday night's show pretty quickly. I think we were out last year shortly after 10? It wasn't late at all. Hopefully things go smoothly and quickly again this year.

I've yet to make it to the new 'Burg. So many tracks, so little time. Well, plenty of time. So little gas money might be more accurate...

I'm goin' to L'Burg for the third time this year, too good a show to pass up IMHO. Although, I believe Kentucky Speedway has a pretty good ticket promo going for the ICS race...but I can't pass up my first :usac: midget race. I have to admit the first night of ISW (@ L'Burg) was my first :usac: race. It's not my fault I grew up racing on pavement and turning left and right.

As I said in an earlier post we are going to the Kentucky speedway Indy car race, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the races as they all sound good to me.

Phylo82 · 7/31/08, 2:53 PM

We'll be racing at the 'Burg.....looking forward to it. If not we would most likely be at the KY Speedway.

The sad part is none of them are in cincinnati or Ohio, and that 95% of the people in cincinnati don't know anything about these events. I'll be at the Burg.:thumb

Brother-in-law has me going to Florence for the N/S race. Should be a fun time even if it's not Sprints.
