I'll let the tracks and series write up the PR's but just a heads up on a double header about a hour apart. Rt. 44 speedway Liberty IN and Lawrenceburg Speedway's Jason Soudrette Memorial Both BOSS Series races with Lawerencburg joined by Kelsey Chevorlet Sprints.
Come celebrate Jason Soudrette, He was as nice a person as you ever wanted to meet. A family racer, A Father and fabricator. He was also a musician and founding member of this now well known bluegrass band (The Tillers) We lost Jason to complications of Leukemia.
Jason is the Bassist in the video below
I'm planning on taking in both of these races this weekend and really looking forward to it. Will be first ever trip for me to Route 44 and I love every trip I make to the Burg.
I used to go to that track quite a bit in the 80s as they had sprints about five times a year. even had a CRA midwest tour race there once. Was Frankie Kerr's first NW win.
Last time I was there was the USAC midget week failure but things like the grandstands and stuff had been upgraded a ton from the days back when. Heard these guys put a lot of time and effort in the track itself. I still suggest taking goggles or eye protection. BOSS ran there about three or four years ago and I think they had six heats. three consi's and feature.
Rt 44 has made lots of improvements to the surface this year. I hope it holds up well for the sprints, these guys have a put a lot of effort into the place. My house is only 3 miles from the track. The place was closed for a few years and once they close its hard to get a facility back.

Paragon is also running their KISS show. King of Indiana Sprint special or something like that. Anyways, it's 2,000 to win. So thats 3 big paying shows on Saturday and USAC is out of town.
