Angell Park Speedway/National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame 06.10.07

The first thing that I did was tour the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame. I wrote most of the article on Wikipedia - where I learned it was located in Wisconsin. It was smaller than I expected. It was a series of plaques - one for each inductee. The HoF is only open on the days of the races.

Then I watched qualifying. There were 31 cars. The program normally only has midget cars. Drivers came from many states, including Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and California. One was the 2006 Australian Speedcar national champion, although he might be an American. I got a nice picture of almost all of the drivers. I left with a full memory card in my camera.

It was my first races at the historic 1/3 mile clay oval - my 30th track. I was talking with a man in the pits after the race, and he said it was the track with the longest continuous history of midget car racing.
