Not sure if you have ever been there before, but from everything I've seen, you HAVE to add Trophy Cup to your list. Takes place at Thunder Bowl Raceway in Tulare California. Loudpedal Productions did a video about this race a couple months ago and I've watched it multiple times. I believe it is called "That's some dream". Check it out on YouTube. They did a great job of showing how much that race means to everyone involved. That is a top 3 on my bucket list!

Still got a pretty long list to get through. Want to go to Eagle Raceway, the Ironman at Pevely, maybe the STN, and for sure following the WOO down the west coast on their fall run. I believe that would include the Trophy Cup? If not, add that as a separate event. Indiana speed week would be great as well. I hope to get the Ironman in this year and would like to go to the two day 360 show at Eagle. Biggest problem is it's too close to the Knoxville Nationals. Don't know if I could hold up for two weeks of almost continuous racing.

It's my.favorite event year after year. The atmosphere, the racing, the good cause it supports all adds up to a great event.
Cheers!

One of these years I will make it out there for it. Takes a ton of planning to make it out there from Wisconsin. I love that they added a non winged leg too! Waiting and all the planning will make it that much more special. Some day....

Every year I do the TROPHY CUP my favorite. The gold cup , chili bowl and western worlds . I think the next on my list will be the short track nationals. It's only a 25 hour drive . The chili bowl is 22 hours.
We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

Yes...Having owned/raced sprintcars for many years Im a dirt track sprint car guy first but the guys that race bikes on the "real" road courses are incredible.. They must breath some different air than I do.
