Someone said something about having midgets and non wing sprints here at the Gold Crown well they tried that before and wind up with like 14 16 non wing cars, Would I want more midgets here Hell Yeah but just don"t hold your breath, This place is a horsepower track and those KKM cars have the power. Have I had a great time here all three nights OH HELL YEAH

I went Friday and Saturday, and the racing was great. Thank you Kevin and Tammy for putting it on. Of course it would be nice if there were 45 cars there again, but the ones that were there put on a great show. I'm happy Bacon got that win after a weekend of terrible luck.

There was a local Texas kid we run against that was there in a Daum car so we were watching this one.
Maybe a few more cars will come next time but glad it was a good show regardless. That's what matters most. |

Firstly, I was glad to hear that the injured fan was treated and released, didn't hear anything about Corey Bruns , very hard crash, hope he is OK as well.
Three good nights of Midget Racing, good crowds & over at a decent hour with the exception of Sat night which couldn't be helped. Many Thanks to the Gundakers for having this event, one of our favorites of the racing season. Seeing the young racers was cool. We were told that one of the young fellows was asked which driver he wanted to stand beside and he said the Trophy Girl. Again Thanks to Tammy & Kevin, looking forward to next year, hopefully it's on the schedule.

Kevin and Tammy are fantastic track operators and promoters. Great track, ran the shows in a timely manner, I don't know what more they could do. Great event, hopefully they bring it back again.

I owned and drove sprints/midgets for many years so this "fan" as you like to call me understands how both sides work. I know Belleville, Jacksonville, and Macon are great tracks I've been going to them for many many years. I've even ran wing sprint cars at Belleville when they used to host them in the 90s. As Brent said this is more about the promoter/owner than it is about series vs series. I choose not to support the owner of Powri. That's my choice and I'm not "dumb" because of it. Ever wonder why Powri doesn't have winter races at DuQuoin anymore? I happen to know the real reason and it would most likely surprise a lot of people if they knew the answer. Also a big thank you to Kevin, Tammy, the staff and USAC for all of the hard work to make this event happen. Kevin was even up on top of the backhoe bucket trying to fix the top of the fence that Brady tore down.
