33 EVENTS SET FOR 2017 USAC SPEED2 IMRA MIDGET CALENDAR
A full plate of 33 events is on the menu for competitors during the 2017 USAC Speed2 IMRA Midget Championship season.
Within those 33 dates includes the season-opener on Feb. 18 at the Southern Illinois Center in Du Quoin that pairs the IMRA with the Midwest Thunder Midgets on the indoor bullring, one of five non-points, "special events" on the calendar along with a tour of Illinois during D2 Speedweek on June 1-2-3-4 at Fairbury, Jacksonville, Macon and Lincoln before stopping at the Champaign County Fairgrounds on July 21.
The bulk of the championship race will be decided at two familiar stops: Burlington, Iowa's 34 Raceway and Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Illinois. The track in Burlington will host the series 11 times in 2017 on Apr. 22, May 6-20-28, June 11 & 24, July 8 & 22, Aug. 5 & 26 and Sept. 2. Spoon River showcases the IMRA on 14 occasions this season on Apr. 29, May 13 & 27, June 10 & 17, July 1 & 15, Aug. 12 & 19 and Sept. 3-9-16-23-30).
The Illinois State Fairgrounds Multi-Purpose Arena in Springfield welcomes the series on July 3 as the series shares the bill with the USAC National Midget Championship in its debut at the one-sixth-mile for the "Adam Lopez Illinois Midget Nationals."
On Sept. 8, the series visits Jacksonville Speedway before the final four-race stretch at Spoon River concludes the season.
