Ft. Wayne Roll Call

[DannyB]

Anyone going up? Or coming south, as it may be?

I have to work. Been on a quasi-vacation all week, so it's back to work tomorrow.

Don't forget, a hotshot NASCAR star is supposed to be there.

[dwcremax]

I will be there both days. I will arrive around mid afternoon each day. I am meeting a couple of people Thursday around three. Would like to get together with the TF'ers as well. Any suggestions?

[fatlantic]

I will be in the stands and drinking beers with my roadracing buddies on Thursday. On Friday I am down to drive in the purple #21 midget(no beers though).

We are talking about going Friday; I'm assuming one could purchase one night tickets on a walk-up basis. Anyone know for sure?

[dwcremax]

Yes, you can. If you want you can purchase a one night ticket online & print it out on your computer.

indysix-feed me enough beers on Thursday and the ride could be yours on Friday. Actually, this is my fourth year in a row racing at Ft Wayne and with all of the spectacular crashing that I have done up there, I often wonder why I have to be sober to do it!

[Truth Detector]

Is there no web site dedicated to the race itself??

FT. Wayne Pre-Entry List

RUMBLE PRE-ENTRY MIDGET LIST CONTINUES TO GROW

INDIANAPOLIS – The entry list for the annual
“Rumble in Ft. Wayne” continues
to grow as the United States Auto Club completes
its first 50 years as a
racing sanctioning body.

More than 40 cars are entered for the two-day
affair at the Memorial
Coliseum Expo Center, highlighted by the entries
of cars to be piloted by
several USAC champions. Among those driving are
last year’s winners: Tony
Stewart and Dave Darland. Stewart, now a two-time
NASCAR Nextel Cup Series
champion, won the opening night of competition in
2004 under the alias
“Mikey Fedorcak,” while Darland claimed the next
night’s 60-lapper.

Joining Stewart and Darland are multiple-time
USAC titlists Tony Elliott and
Mel Kenyon. Elliott, a two-time National Sprint
champion, competed in one of
the two races and is a hometown favorite, having
grown up a short distance
away in Warsaw, Ind. Kenyon, a seven-time
National Midget champ, continues
to threaten for victories at age 72, having
nearly won a Regional Midget
race at the Indianapolis Speedrome in August.

Other pre-event favorites include Billy Wease,
who will drive a stock car
for Penske Racing South in 2006; John
Heydenreich, who finished fourth in
the USAC Silver Crown Series in 2005; and David
Gough, the 2004 UMARA
champion.

A pair of 60-lap Midget features highlights
Thursday and Friday’s
festivities, which also includes Quarter Midgets,
Go-Karts and 600 Legends.
Pit gates open at 7:30 a.m. Thursday and 8 a.m.
Friday, while practice
begins at 9:45 a.m. on both days.

AWESOME!!

Had a blast last night. Watching Stewart vs. Darland was intense until some of the amatures tried to become heros and took out the stars.
