Anyone have a drivers list who will be at these events this weekend? Thinking of making the trip would be my first tip to both of these tracks.

I'm sure the normal people that run these series will be there. I know Birkhofer is racing, Maybe Moyer might show up. Jason Feger has run these the last two years. If you are not coming far, then these shows should be worth the trip. JMO

Open motors in Iowa is a rare occasion.

am trying to catch the davenport show Friday night on the way home to my dad's place to catch my old home town tracks Saturday night adams county speedway season opener. have always had good luck catching great racing at davenport.

and the weather report says I will get to see my first race of 2016.

and I don't care who shows up! put some cars on the track and i'm entertained.

Here are drivers that have either confirmed to us they are coming, have it on their website or both:

Chad Simpson
Shirley
Babb
Pierce
Birky
Unzicker
Chris Simpson
Tony Jackson Jr
Feger
Weaver
Jay Johnson

There are 10-15 other guys who follow either MARS or ALMS who we expect, but they either don't have a site or it's not updated.

I found these drivers have the "Slocum 50" listed on there websites:

Frank Heckenast Jr.
Jason Utter
Justin Asplin

I would have to think these drivers will be there:

Mark Burgtorf
Denny Woodworth
Justin Reed

I would imagine the last 3 will be at Burlington, but I doubt if they will go to Davenport. Justin Reed would be the most likely of the 3 to go to Davenport, but he might go to Granite City on Friday (just my guess).

Add Dustin Griffin and Gordy Gundaker to the list

While I don't know for sure, I would imagine that Gordy will run at his dad's track on Friday and then maybe go to Burlington (Sat.) and/or Sedalia (Sun). While it would be good to see Dustin Griffin at both, I think Burlington only would be more likely.

Manville will probably stay home

I imagine that he will run the $2000 to win show at Granite City on Friday night.

34 raceway on Saturday night is a great place to watch a race. There will be plenty of good cars to put on a good show. Unzicker is saying he will be there on his Twitter account.

I wonder about Stovall, AJ Diemel (travels with Mars), Manville, Schmitt, Bell,

Chatted with Stovall earlier he said yes. Diemel was 50/50 last I knew there is a memorial race up in his area that he may hit or may do 34. Just guessing on Bell but I would bet he would be there as well.

Both should be good shows, but 34 Raceway is always racey. Under rated by most.Last lap pass last year.

Just guessing on Bell but I would bet he would be there as well.Shawano season opener on Sat. night, will be devoted to the memory of multi time track champion, MJ McBride, who passed away in the off season...should have a great car count for the late models and mods...weather looks great..I will be driving down for the Davenport open show and back to Shawano on Saturday..

Is it because the car owner will be racing.

So should I think were going to see Justin at Farley?

Wonder if they found something wrong with the 15B testing today?! Hopefully he'll be at Davenport and Burlington. Lots of great teams racing all weekend!
