From the limited footage I've seen I-55 seems to produce great Midget racing. Looks to be a smallish venue though.
Am hoping to come over this year for the WoO/Powri show.

Has to be Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, WI which has been hosting midget racing since 1939. The dirt Speedway ( which contains the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame) is 10 miles from downtown Madison which is WI's capital and the home of the University of Wisconsin. Angell Park Speedway is a 90 minute ride west from Milwaukee and it remains the home base for the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association which has been sanctioning midget racing for 80 years. It would be interesting to get opinions from midget drivers as to where to hold this possible special race.

Angel park does't hold enough people for a large nationals style show. It's was almost full for the NSL IRA show last year.

Midgets at Eagle Raceway are a perfect union...motels in Lincoln and Omaha, 10,000 seats and camping.

I was there a couple years ago for the Pepsi national and didn't think the race would ever end. The track was rutted horribly and cars were flipping on every lap. I can't believe that is normal but that night it was a race of attrition. They could put some new seating in as well although I liked the atmosphere and will probably give the place another try when I get a chance.
Bring back Santa Fe, and LaSalle .

Very exciting place to watch midgets. Would need more seating and parking though.

I love this place for Sprints or midgets. Ironman 55 with the Poweri midgets is a great show.

...and the midgets will be back at I-55 for the April 30 Spring Classic and both nights of the Ironman this year.

A BIG vote for Angell Park here. Travels to many tracks over the years and this is perfect, in my opinion, for midget racing. And it sure seemed to have plenty of capacity between the stands and massive benches-in-hill seating.
