Where did you go and how was the show.  

Went to multiple tracks during our Knoxville Nationals trip. Some observations from each night.

LAKESIDE SPEEDWAY, Kansas City, KS: (Weld Memorial): 3 division shoe (USAC) midwest sprints, 4cyl. mini mods & sreet stocks. Only division to have a full field were the spriints. Facility 4/10th mile banked track.  Racing in the 4cyl and street stocks were boring with minimal car counts. The sprints racing wasn't bad, but a nasty flip sent that took out catch fence above the wall. Dissapointed while called the Weld Memorial there was no memorabilia related to the Welds.

I55 Speedway, Pevely, MO: WoO & Xtreme midgets. Full car counts in both divisions. races were entertaing with WoO going the Brad Sweet. The midget feature was excellent with Micheal Pickens winning with a last lap pass. Another nasty sprint car flip sent 2 cars into the catch fence just beyond the pit entrance to the pit area. The opening didn't have a gate leaving a blunt wall. Thank God the crash was just beyond that opening. for the 2nd night in a row the catch fence required a patch job.

Southern Iowa Speedway, Oakaloosa, IA: Front Row Challenge,  410 & 305 sprint cars. Good car count in both divisions. Fairgrounds facility with covered grandstand brought me back to Flemington memories with Spsome of the folks I meet in the parking lot. Racing was good in both classes. Kyle Larson won the 410 race for the 2nd year in a row. Nice facility and entertaining racing. Race is promoted by sprint car driver Terry McCarl.

English Creek Speedway, Knoxville IA. 1/6mi. high banked clay. Track hosts various cart classes similar to Millbridge on North Carolina. Cool little track. I'd like to see the midgets run there , but need a lot of improvements for that to happen.

Knoxville Raceway: Knoxville, IA: Speaks for it's self. 2nd time to attend the Knoxville Nationals. Son and I enjoyed all 4 nights. Just the atmosphere and meeting different folks who attend.  The event seemed to be alot more since 1989. The HOF was really cool with alot to take in. The 8D was on display that Doug Wolfgang drove to the 1989 win. Got to see Jack Kromer's plaque, Congrats Jack. Downside some POS stole over 5k from Logan Wagner's Tee Shirt trailer and the Rudzik 49 had it's trailer tires slashed.
