Pre-Entry 2016 Schedule Important Times Thank you for your support 2016 Mid-America Speedway NewsWe were able to get last Friday's AMA Vintage Event in, however to say that we were rained off on Saturday would be an understatement. The rain set in around 10:00am Saturday, and never moved out until late Tuesday. The next event at Mid-America is a regular points night on August 20th, followed by our Vet 30+ Night on August 27. Pre-Entry What's new for 2016? The new 3500 gallon water truck is not quite finished, but the drag truck has been outfitted with a 350 gallon water tank which will be used when the track needs a light mist. Both trucks will reduce the amount of time spent watering and will allow us to run our events even more efficient than we have in the past. The option to purchase reserved parking spots was a huge hit, and there are still a few spots left. Vans and trucks with small trailers will be parked with their front bumpers facing the fence that runs between the pit entrance and the hill (rear of vehicle would be facing turn 3 and 4 wall. Longer vehicles would park on the other side of the fence facing the vans and trucks with small trailers. Cost is $100 for the season and includes a sign with your name and number in your choice of red, green, black or blue identifying your reserved spot. Please contact us to reserve your spot today. 2016 Schedule 2016 Mid-America Speedway NewsAugust 12th and 13th are rounds 11 and 12 of the AMA National Vintage Dirt Track Series. Both nights are AMA Vintage classes only. There will be complimentary barbecue in the pits for riders and their crew on the evening of August 12. The August 13th event will feature the same vintage classes from the night before, however we will be adding Speedway bikes which is Round 2 of the US vs. Canada Border Wars sponsored by Harley-Davidson of Bloomington. Round one was held in Welland, ON, on July 9th with 15 Speedway riders, including several riders with British League experience in attendance. Riders came from Quebec, Ontario, New York, Indiana, and Scotland. We are expecting nearly all of the 15 riders from round one to show and some additional riders from New York, Ohio and Indiana to make appearances. Total purse is currently $2600, with $800 going to the winner. The Welland track definitely favors the local riders, but we feel that Mid-America makes for a more neutral track. Riders interested in attending should contact us at (317) 871-4392 for more details and to get a spot on the program.

Mid America News2016 will mark the 9th season of racing at Mid America Speedway. We have 15 events scheduled for 2016. Obviously Mother Nature controls the actual number of events run as we had 14 races on the schedule in 2015, and we were only able to run nine. We are often asked why we run so many races. The truth is that 15 races is a lot of races for the staff, but due to the structure of our lease agreement with the Marion County Fairgrounds we are charged for the facility whether we use it or not and it takes a minimum of twelve events to break even. The other concern is that if we only paid for the facility for a handful of events we know that kart and TQ midget promoters would come in and not take care of the facility in the same manner that we do. We have seen it happen in the past, and the track that was left behind was not suitable for motorcycles. 2016 Schedule What is new for 2016? We will also continue to post the printed lineups just like we have always done.
