Midwest Speed has announced plans for the 1st Annual "BEHIND the PIT WALL, U.S. 101, 4 Cylinder World Championship to be held October 16, 2004 at the World's fastest 1/5 Mile MACON Speedway in Macon, Illinois. Macon, Illinois is just 9 miles south of Decatur, Illinois off of U.S. 51 on Andrews Street. The event will be 50 laps and will pay the winner an unheard of $1,000.00 to win, $50.00 to start for the hornet division (based on 40 entries)! Also on the card for the event is a $1,000.00 to win, $75.00 to start event for modifieds running under UMP rules (based on 40 entries) and a $350.00 to win event for the street stock class.

The race season will have ended at most Midwestern tracks and the UMP Points will have ended the week prior to this event, so there should be a nice turnout of competitors on hand!
