The Honda USAC Western Midget series resumes August 30-31 in the 7th Annual "Louie Vermeil Classic" at Calistoga (Calif.) Speedway and defending Honda USAC Western Midget Champion Ronnie Gardner is "ready" after his latest victory last weekend.

Great job

10 K to win each night...Should bring out some top flight shoes.  Great weekend of racing on tap.

Saw that Kevin Thomas jr. made a run down at the PAS saturday night.

Maybe we will get a couple from back east running at Calistoga after all.

2 weeks and we will know.

Supposedly Robert ballou will be in one of the Jfm 73 cars for sprints and I imagine good chance Keith kunz brings midget fleet out again!!!  Not sure anything can top larsons ass whooping from last year but going to be great show!!
