Weather is looking good for this Wednesday night's running of the Arnie Knepper Memorial race at Belle-Clair Speedway. The POWRi midgets and 600cc micros will be featured. Info at www.POWRi.com.

Ron, do you have any idea when the grandstands open? On my previous trips it seemed to be sort of random choice, with the announced time being met sometimes and not others. If there is a plan for this race, do we know what it is? Thanks much.

Frank,
The website says gates at 4:00, hot laps at 6:00, racing at 7:00. The grandstands will probably open the same time as the gates. The fair will be going on, so there will be a parking charge.

Ron, that really is a neat little track. Great place for midget racing. Slicked off a little (for the 2 day show) but they reworked it multiple times during the night.

I think there will be a good # of cars for this race too. There is not any other midget shows scheduled.

In my opinion, it is the best midget track around.

I enjoyed the two day show and look forward to getting back there again.

Yes, it is! It is one of my favorites. I attended the second day of the two day show. Boy, was it hot, but, as always, great racing.
