Need a racing fix? Want to see several hundred cars race in a night? Then head out to Boone Speedway, in Boone, Iowa, for the IMCA annual SuperNationals. The SuperNationals run through Saturday night, but the qualifications have already started.
Last night, over 140 Hobby Stock and 160 Stock Cars signed in for the chance at being SuperNational Champion. In addition, 55 Late Models duked it out, with Boone McLaughlin winning.
For a racing fan, last night boasted over 60 races. And tonight they'll add more stock cars to the final Saturday night grid, as well as starting and finishing sprint car races.
Wednesday means over 40 heat races for modifieds (that's somewhere around 320-400 cars), and the sport mods are set to start then too. Thursday continues the modified qualifications, and eventually we'll get to the last chance races for each division.
So how does the track hold up? Boone has pioneered and perfected the farming session. After approximately 10 races, the track is ripped up, wet down, and repacked. Within in 15 minutes.
The farming sessions are perfect for fans, as it leaves time to run to the bathroom, refill your cup, or buy a meal - all without missing any of the racing action on the track.
Racing begins at 4 p.m. and runs until, well, they're done. Last night I left at 11:30 p.m., and there were still 14 B Mains to go.
The SuperNationals should satisfy your racing craving. And if it doesn't, then nothing will.
