<<< FOT,

In October, "That
Looooong Race" has been held as long as I can remember. It has current era
racing sanctioned by Midwest Council, but a day is set aside for vintage racing.
There are four sessions on a Sunday of racing and the price is right. >>>

2015 is the 45th version of THAT LOOOONG RACE.  I won't be racing this year, but I'll be there and I've been attending this event every year since 1981.

A highlight of the week end is the BIG WHEEL races out on the track at noon on Sunday.

After watching the real racing all day Saturday and Sunday the kids hit the track with their Big Wheels and Trikes to give it a whirl themselves.

They all walk away winners, and get tee shirts and prizes.  They also have costume 'Trick or Treating' around to all of the corner worker stations.

Thus the kids get a 'sugar high' that lasts until the Big Wheel Races.

Beady Eye Racing was an involved sponsor of the Big Wheel Races for many years, and I will be contributing again this year.  I love it.

If I recall...that's where both Tony Drews and Sean Alexander started out.  I think they raced BIG WHEEL until their early 20s.  Probably so.
