I have to admit, when I arrived at the track in the afternoon, I thought the night was going to be a disastrous follow-the-leader affair with a giant dust cloud. Not only did you transform the pits from a total pile of slop into something workable, but you managed to pull off an exciting night of action-packed racing that we rarely get to see around here! Not only did we have very little dust, but we had a track that continued to stay tacky all night and continuous passing throughout the field from the first heat race to the last feature. You are great for bringing USAC into the area. I only hope that people who have not yet allowed themselves to be exposed to such great racing gives it a shot because I know that they would always come back.

I totally agree with everything mermaid said. GREAT show! 34 Raceway is a great place to run midgets.

I have to agree 100%! Also would like to give USAC a thank you for making a stop at 34 as well! Hope all the drivers enjoyed the facility and people as well?

I will also have to agree. Just wish Darland wouldn't have broke he and Jones put on a great show as well as all the other drivers. Great Job last night.

without doubt one of the most enjoyable racetracks i have been to..cant wait to see the next race there .

Thank you to USAC for an excellent show on a very well prepared track by 34 Raceways. I make an occasional stop at 34 Raceways for the Sprint Invaders shows and this had to be one of the best sprint/midget shows I've seen. I hope 34 Raceway invites them back next year and everyone tells their friends what a great show they missed this year.

Great show for USAC at 34 Raceway last night. Great job on preparing the track and pit area by Jeff & Amy Laue and there staff. Hopefully, fans will hear about the show they missed and USAC will be invited back for next year. Congratulations to Levi Jones and Brian Claussen for hard fought wins.

I agree also, it's been 25 since my last visit to 34 Raceway and I have to say it's a great facility, good track for racing. It's the right size for sprint cars, wing or no wing. Will defintely consider going there again for a sprint car show, and thanks to USAC for coming!

Agreed. Racing was pretty awesome.

One grunch though, can we stop advertising guys that won't be there? Part of my decision to go was based around seeing Stanbrough and Ballou, among others who were said to be entered on the website. Those two and several others were nowhere to be found. Kind of disappointing, but all in all, it was still a great night of racing.

Watching drivers throttle up knowing there were huge holes in 1/2 and basically not caring was worth admission alone.

I will have to say that it's not the fault of 34 Raceway for advertising Stanbrough & Ballou when they send in an entry form. I would say it is the drivers responsibility to let there fans know if they are going to show or not? I'm sure John & Robert were covering all base's in case of rain and that is why they sent in an entry to race 34 Raceway? Just my opinion!LOL! I understand the disappointment though I to have driven three to four hours and the driver I went to see never showed. They opted instead to attend a race closer to home.

Last race I saw there was probably 1982, I remember Tim Green was in the Trostle 20. So that means I was 8 years old. LOL
