The racers ***** because they can't run for good money, The fans ***** when they do.

I felt a little ripped at the Hewitt Classic this year. Although the show paid well through the pack of each class, Only 30 cars or so showed up in each division and I think there was a 35 dollar sign on the pit gate that was quickly taken off and replaced with a 40 dollar one.

Make it exceptional or I'll just stick to Sat nights.
Chuck, who's felt this way about a great many things anymore besides racing, When you start to feel ripped off. IT ISN'T FUN ANYMORE!

Yeh, I heard that this certain based Indiana based sanctioning body didnt want any of their races shown Live by race/network.tv . That's crazy, why not try and promote your series and drivers. I watched the coverage of the western world and I thought it was awesome. I hope we get to see more Live races by them in 2008 !!

That's the wonderful part of life. It's full of choices. You have made your choice.

Your thing about "who are these people"...is the same thing I would say at a WoO race. I say maybe you are not keeping up with the times.

I'm sure you will be missed terribly there at Turkey Night next year, Mr. Robin Miller, Jr.

This is the reality with openwheel racing in America. It has forgotten it's roots and let money and ******** come in and screw it up. ******** destroyed Indy (as well as some other things). I can only see that happening to midget racing as the years go by.

I am a huge Dave Darland fan and am happy beyond belief that he won.

I would love to see this race back on dirt. I am a dirt fan and have been for a long time. I do however love a good pavement race.

whoa, very well said...

"In Ascot's hay day, they had over 100 midgets show up for 30 spots in the show. 70 guys would load up. This was before ******** provisionals. The crowd was filled with dirt midget and dirt sprint car enthusiasts. You looked in the pits and you saw all the bad ass sprint and midget racers together under one roof. These weren't 16-23 year old thrillseekers, these were journeymen sprint and midget racers."

i couldn't agree more, being younger (24)...i would do anything to see those days when sprint fields were filled with cars and class like this...im very unhappy with the commercialized state that nascar has created in auto racing...they have run out all forms of open wheel racing, F1 wont even be back because its to difficult for the american market to comprehend.
