Extreme Midgets in Pennsylvania
 

There's still a lot of midget fans out in Pennsylvania and we miss seeing them especially at tracks like Clyde Martin, Kutztown & Path Valley.

Car counts don't seem to be very good with the Extreme cars as of late, so we're hoping some of the USAC regulars will join them.

Since USAC is idle this week, does anyone know if any of the USAC regulars will be making the tow to Pennsylvania?

The announcers at I-55 said its co sanctioned with ARDC. Is ARDC running badger engine rules or national ? How many ARDC do you think will show ? I was surprised at the low count. Paying for dirtvision just for the midgets so hope they can muster 3 heats.

While at Indiana Sprint Week I asked Grant about it he said probably not, he enjoys coming to PA but feels a little break in his schedule would be nice

Why were the midget counts so low at Pevely?

It’s not just Pevely, the week before they ran two nights in Ohio. They had 17 cars the first night and 14 cars the second night…

WRG screwed up. They backed the wrong division. Instead of being afraid of Larsons series and focusing on that, they should have given Casey the support he needed. Oh well, maybe they will figure it out.

Re: Extreme Midgets in Pennsylvania
 

In what way did they not support him? This was all created to increase subscribers to dirtvision. They wanted to capitalize on the success that the midgets had, and dilute the product with another series. That is why almost all the shows were promoted by WRG. Promoters were not interested in midgets as a support class for late models and wing cars. Car owners were not looking for more dates and more travel. It was kind of doomed from the beginning.
Back to original question, the car counts were actually a little better in PA than I expected. We will see how many are still around for Bridgeport.

And Mr Funk was right yet again. Bridgeport cancelled because of suspected low car count. Believe we are watching Extreme Outlaw Midgets die a slow death.

Over/under they finish the season schedule?
