Their rcmse in the Lincoln area is Eagle Raceway, a one-third mile dirt oval in Eagle, about 20 minutes east onll.vy.34. The wd, dusty, broaiHiding, buxpkj action makes many think sprint-car rating is the most exciting of all ovaltrack competition. I think they may be riht Ease's opener is May 2. Slock can: It happens at Midwest Speedway, 4609 N. 27 St, a dirt ovaL The Super Stock and Hobby Stock cars run in tight packs, providing tense battling or plod ding boredom, depending on the competitors caliber. The cars have token mufflers so you won't go deaf, and the location and time (Sundays at 2 pjn.) are convenient. It's definitely worth a look. Dr2ffi3: It's the 1960s retro-trip, man, turning the quarter with a low E.T. down the asphalt aisle, eat em up, shut 'em down, ooooh! Drag racing is a funny sport, with its one-dimensional demand of maximum acceleration over 1,470 feet. Its appeal is that it's easy to understand and identify with-who hasn't put his foot down hard at the stoplight just to edge ahead of .the guy in the next lane? Big-time drag shows are rare in this area, but only a crass elitist would shun the grassroots of the sport. Kearney Dragway, with events almost every Sunday, is the nearest connection for Lincoln drag addicts. If you think it looks easy from the stands, you can even plunk down the entry fee for a "stock" class and find out. If you'n in Kearney to soak up history at Fort Kearney or the Stuhr Museum, put a Beach Boys tape in the player and relive a vanished era. Moiocross: A motrrcycle is a curious artifact-fauvism applied to transportation, a minimal vehicle. Taking these motorized bare necessities out and shoving them full bore across the roughest terrain available is just crazy enough to attract hard-core enthusiasts, and that is what mctocrcss fans are. , The Lincohi Motocross Club sponsors these necks-for-sile races at a course near VZber, the next belts May 9. These wishisj to watch can ask at Mctctech Cultaco Ossa, 6232 Flattest YouH have to travel, ia persca or by television, to see major league motcrsperts.

Best known event, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, is to r ranee wnat inoianapons 500 is to the United States; it's on June 13. Formula I: A series appealing to those.enamored of jet set glamor and technical hypersophisticatiort. Most famous is the Grand Prix of Monaco, May 30; it may be televised by the Columbia Broadcasting System.
