Can they travel and stay nearby the day before?
Do they have a Hyatt hotel in Adrian?
They're SOL... They just tore down the "Crackhead Palace"
There are lots of deer blinds people can rent much nicer than any Hilton
If you are still playing Saturday I would hope you wouldn’t be bitching about the drive
St. Vincent, enjoy your drive Saturday to one of Southwest Missouri’s finest towns.
Go Blackhawks!

Since when is Adrian SWMO?
I miss the little bullring dirt track!
Did you ever make it down to 66 Speedway in Joplin ??? World of Outlaws opened their season there a couple of years before it was sold and closed
Ever make it out to the I-70 speedway? I went to the old one as a kid. Haven't made it to the new one yet
I practically lived there when Greg and Marilyn Weld (Weld wheels for non KC folks) owned it from 1981-87. That was actually where I was introduced to World of Outlaws sprint car racing.
The new track is a very nice facility with a huge flaw that could eventually close them again: the track. Why invest a zillion to rebuild everything (the pits are nice as it gets) but not rip out the pavement but simply put a few inches of dirt over it? Drivers absolutely hate the track (size is also hard on motors especially on those real hot summer evenings) because of that plus the exposed pavement causes the track to get excessively slick/dangerous (sprint car speeds on straights are about 135-140 MPH). I hope the best for it and, yes, have been there for all major sprint car spring and summer events but hope they fix the track issue.
Thats wild! I had not heard that. All I kept hearing about was how nice and updated everything was. Been meaning to make it out there for a race.
So you're saying they just put dirt over the old pavement??
Made the trip in reverse a couple times. Feels like we stayed in Festus.
Assuming the Perryvillians will stay in Lee's Summit area if they are coming from the north. From the South, who the hell knows... Nevada I guess.

They can always spend the night and their money in Harrisonville at the Comfort Inn. Just 20 minutes north of Adrian on I-49.
They could probably even stay in Clinton if they cut through the middle of the state. It is one of the routes offered on Google.
Yep you can see the edge of the old paved track on the west side of it.
They tore down the classic Safari Motel I mourned for months.....................no greater overnight experience than sleeping with bark scorpions and centipedes!
Okay.... what the hell is a bark scorpion? Sounds like it should be someone's mascot.
Those nasty little critters you find down in the Ozarks who have actually found their way northward gradually.
Can't, he's already hosting the officials for the night!
We ran a modified for a few years, had 66 Speedway, Northfork and Monett all within 30 minutes or so of the house. Could race Fri-Sat-Sun if car would hold together that long. Mo-Kan drag strips just 10 miles from the farm, building a blown 32 ford so have something to race again
I could figure something out. Serve them up some gas station sushi for breakfast . Lose their luggage. Watch the game.
Well..um actually...make a pretty nice little Saturday out of it.
My middle sister and brother in law campaigned a Modified for over a decade mostly locally (Lakeside, I-35 Winston, US 36 Osborn, CMS Warrensburg) just changed to more economical Stock Car. They gave the USMTS regional a shot a few times...............We ran a modified for a few years, had 66 Speedway, Northfork and Monett all within 30 minutes or so of the house.

Some of those St. Louis area folks might be interested. Some anyways.
Meth is more of a SWMO thing. It's everywhere but in my experience the rural area is infected with the stuff.
Even north Springpatch smells like cat piss 24/7 due to cookers.
Might be… but does that put Clinton and Adrian in SW MO? But agree on Springspread… son attends college in the north vicinity… said a common quote is if you don’t try hard in class, you’ll be living on Glenstone.
I grew up going to I-44 speedway back when it was a super popular Asphalt track. Larry Phillips and Jamie McMurray put on a heck of a show every week and so did basically every class. Saw a race there this year.....joke...heck of a track but not enough cars. Hopefully that changes this next season. I love dirt racing but asphalt short track racing is where its at
I went there when it was (briefly) dirt. Weirdest seating ever up on a steep hill you had to bring your own lawn chairs. Saw Jeff Purvis dominate the NDRA late model feature summer 1985. Was also my first exposure to one of the more infamous mod drivers in MO history Rex Merritt from over in Billings.
Larry (legend) Phillips was the master of both dirt and pavement. Think better version of Ken Schrader.
Yes, it’s crazy the amount all over this general corner. Add the fentanyl coming in and I’m surprised these guys and gals are staying alive. Truly sad.
