Right now I'm in a holding pattern at my friend's place in Ohio. Was planning on driving back to Pa. for Outlaws/Posse clash at Williams Grove, before driving back home to Colorado. But looks like it could be a rainout...
Plan B: Weather looks nice for upcoming weekend in Illinois, considering POWRI midget race at Belle Clair Speedway. Its on the way home, would save me several hundred miles of driving...
What do people think? Good car count? Good racing?
Actually, thats Plan C. I was considering Lawrenceburg USAC, but looks like that might be rain also.....

POWRI is a great show at Belleville. Car counts are sometimes an issue but the racing is usually top notch. Another alternative is the NSL at Farmington. It's a two day show and should draw a strong field of cars. They have been drawing 24-30 410's on a weekly basis before you add in any NSL cars and outsiders that might show up. Both should be good shows.

Another great choice would be the National Sprint League 2-Night Queen's Royale Show at St. Francois County Raceway near Farmington, Missouri, just south of St. Louis on Friday, September 30 and Saturday, October 1. Watch Lasoski, Dollansky, Brown, Ian Madsen and other regular NSL drivers compete against some regional drivers and the regulars at SFCR, which has an average car count of around 25 410 sprints weekly. It was a great show when the NSL visited in May of 2015.

Dodge County in Beaver Dam, WI has the final IRA show of the year. Also has the MSA 360's for their season championship. Joining them is the WDLMA Late Models. Should be a good show.

Thanks Maddog. Wisconsin is pretty far out of my way (but then again, so is backtracking to Pa.! but Posse vs. Outlaws is my first choice, weather permitting)
Interesting that all the replies came from "Maddog", "Madman" & "Sprintfanatic".... is there no sanity left in this world???

Well I broke a tooth last nite, headed back to Denver to see dentist. If the timing works out, might see midgets in Illinois
Looks like summer might be officially over for this "12 year old with a car stuck in 66 yr. old body"
Thanks for all your input, guys!
