I don’t know that late models would race it all that well. It’s pretty narrow.

No lights, would have to be a day show. The place was built for midgets.
They race midgets at night?Quote:

I didn't see a light pole anywhere in that overhead pic
You tube the Race.Quote:

The IMS dirt track is not as big as Haubstadt. Fast time at IMS: Dirt Draft Hot Laps Fastest Driver: Cannon McIntosh (12.136) Haubstadt: Chris Windom, 89, CBI-13.377 (New Track Record)
The IMS dirt track is smaller than the Indy Circle City dirt track. Midget fast time at CC was 12.8. I was surprised last year when the Circle City CJ Rayburn Memorial Race ran about the first 34 laps green, until the first caution flew. Late models were entertaining at CC.
thanks for all the info everyone
Then they would race great. Sprint car races at Action Track are awesome. Not as good as the 600cc mini sprints, but fun to watch.Quote:
