I heard a couple months ago about adding a race to IMW. Do we have dates? Just curious for vacation time.

I believe Bloomington was added for next year. Not sure of the last time they ran mibgets there but I'm sure it will be anticipated like Haubstadt was this year.

...Or it could be time to add the Hut Hundred back into the mix.

August 6 - 10. Gas City, Kamp, Bloomington, Lawrenceburg, Kokomo in order. Greg Staab worked hard to get both the IMW and ISW schedules done early.:applaud::thumb:

How cool would it be to have The Hut 100 as the final night of MW.

It was in the past wasn't it?

Midgets at Bloomington will be great. The track being narrow early in the night won't be as big a challenge as it is for the sprint cars.

On the top of the IOW message board page, click on "The Rumble Series" advertisement and on the Rumble Series home page, top right corner it says,,

Guess I wont be going to all of midget week after all. There were a few of us here that remember their last open wheel disaster and i for one wont go back on my promise never to set foot in that track again. It's the only track I've ever said that about.

The Hut 100 was the last show of IMW in 2005 and it was a problem. Teams stayed home from the other shows to save the car for that. Not a good plan. As for the possibility of Union County I sure hope a better track is prepared than for their last sprint car show on Sep. 18, 2004 won by Matt Westfall. They ran a 100 lap LM race the night before and the only track prep was 3 laps by the water truck. The cars were squealing tires in hot laps! The only good thing to come out of that night was that I met many IOWers such as Fishburger, DannyB, Racefan20, itsanonwingthing, grogg, etc.:thumb:

You foegot your racing freind Richie Dwight he will be disapointed:rolling:
Being at Liberty...I too was not real happy with that race. I know that Mt. Lawn would never be part of midget week but I miss watching the national midgets at that place. A question for you... how many national
midget racing events have been held there and ther winners.

I understand your comments from the past but Union County Speedway has made GREAT improvements just the last two years. You have to remember, people and places change since 2004.

I am going to comment on these posts, and do not want you to take offense to it. I want to tell you I will work night and day to prove you wrong.

First ...this will be a USAC National Midget show with non winged sprints...Larry Boos probably directing sprints. We will have the track prepped for open wheel racing. LET THERE BE NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

The owner of Union County has put in concrete grandstands, new pressbox with concession stands... BIG new lights, will have a new inside concrete wall....I visited with Greg Staab at the track to check it out, and the improvements are impressive. I am going to visit to take photos of the updated track and post them on our website.

Please don't hurt this date by bringing up past problems. I am trying to move Midget Week forward. More will be explained after the official announcement on Midget Week.
