Anyone know if WoO races on the 3/8 or the 1/2 at I-96 in Lake Odessa, MI? I have to assume the 1/2 but wondering if anyone knows for sure. Their website still has the 2012 schedule so no help there.

I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa Michigan used to have 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile tracks, and the WoO raced on the half mile. After the 2011 season, the two track were combined into a 3/8 that the WoO raced on in 2012 and the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Cars will return to the 3/8 in 2013.

Great, thanks much. If that's the case, and along with Merced reportedly a 3/8, there are more shows on 3/8 than 1/2 mile this year. Latest post tallies all the track lengths and types.

Looks like I-96 has scrapped the 3/8's and went back to the 1/2 mile in 2013.
SPRINTS on DIRT SCHEDULE CONTINUES TO GROW
The 2013 schedule for the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by
ARP has grown by two dates with an exciting addition to one date that has been
already announced. The winged 360 sprint group is proud to announce a return to
Butler Speedway. The only appearance of the season at the popular sprint car
oval located in Quincy MI will be Saturday June 15th. To make the race date even
more exciting it will be a co-sanctioned event with the NRA Sprint Invaders from
Ohio. This will mark one of several co-sanctioned SOD-NRA shows on both sprint
car sanctioning bodies’ 2013 schedule. The other addition to the schedule is a
new event that hopefully will become a yearly tradition. The Fremont Speedway in
Fremont Ohio has scheduled a triple sanctioned race on Saturday August 10. This
can’t miss event will be sanctioned by the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt, the NRA
Sprint Invaders and the Fremont Speedway 305 sprint division. This will add up
to an incredible car count and if that is not enough to get race fans excited,
the feature will pay a generous $3,000 to win and $300 to start the main event.
The Sprints on Dirt would like to thank promoter Rich Farmer for supporting
sprint car racing and promoting this incredible show. The other upgrade on the
2013 Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP schedule is the addition of a
co-sanction with the NRA for the Saturday May 4 race at Mike Mouch’s I-96
Speedway. The exciting news that was announced recently that the sprints will be
returning to the ½ mile Lake Odessa MI oval is now even more enhanced with the
best 360 racers from Ohio, Indiana and Michigan competing. The purse structure
for this event is still being developed and will be announced in the coming
weeks. The Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP will be sanctioning
events in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Ontario during its 34th year of dirt track
competition. For more information please check out www.sprintsondirt.com.

The 1/2 mile can be pretty racy if they widen it back out again. Was not impressed with the 3/8
