Arguably the best event there is the whole year in the Midwest. Great show!!! Worth every penny. Were else can you go and see Late model F/Cs and T/F along with the Nostalgia F/Cs and T/F. Then throw in some Wheelie cars and jets and a Pro Mod or Two.

I went last year for the first time. I was there pretty much all day. The only thing I complained about was the stinkin' tolls for me to get there. In tolls alone it was about $10! 
As far as the racing, as Dan said, it is a great mix, with lots of cars. You are never short on something to see. They had modern TF and FC, and nostalgia, Nanook and Rat Trap, some guy Rapid something or other.
I plan on being there this year.

I attended my first World Series in 1971 when I was 2 months old and only missed a couple until I moved in 2002. My dad has been going since 1960 or 1961 and he's only missed 2 or 3 in all those years. It's some of the best racing I've ever seen and always a lot of fun. There's always a great mix of cars too. I've seen so many big names and unique vehicles there over the years it's almost mind-boggling. It's definitely an all day (or all weekend) event. We usually went on Saturday and got there bright and early in the morning and stayed until the end of racing, sometimes as late as 2 or 3 am if the weather delayed things! Be sure to bring sunblock and plenty of clothes. It's usually pretty hot during the day but it can get downright cold in the evening after the sun goes down.

There's only a shortage in the self made NHRA dome. The rest of the world is just fine.
Right but they are an nhra track (granted not national event) just worried I'm gonna plan a vacation and end up with no show

I remember the Coca~Cola Calvacade of Stars there. Always had a good time. I'm like Brent..grew up there..but for me it goes back to the mid-late 60's..Big, Snake, Goose, Shoe and all that.
Met Eric (up above) there last year..some really good racing..and the pits are the best.
You'll see Rapid Randy..Stardust, etc..I would suggest you make it.
When the sun goes down it's hairy..with the dew from the Mississip showin' up..but Tony P ran 300mph for a couple $ last year.
I look forward to it..since it's one of the few I can get to..(I'm a caregiver so my time is allotted..)
We'll need to setup a meeting place 'cuz it appears a few Maters will show. I'm doing the Eddyville AA/FA Nats, too!! Now that is cool.

just do what i do......drink alot of beer and pass out in someones pit area
The last time I saw someone do that? It was a Big chested gorgeous honey passed out under my car. Good thing I looked down and saw her legs. And NO I didn't take advantage of the situation. Although 3 of us did drag her out from under the car and lay her on the couch and picked up the couch and set it in the front yard. She wasn't to happy in the morning
