I sure hope that Midget Purse is an April fool's joke! Nobody with a nice Midget will get it out for that purse at IRP!

The historians will have to help me, but I went and watched the USAC midgets the night before at IRP during the 100 anniversary of the 500. I was very excited to see the midgets run there after seeing the track on Thursday Night Thunder for years. Someone has passed away and had put in his will that part of his estate go to the purse for the midgets in that race. I forget the numbers, but the numbers added were significant. (10k or 20K added) However, the car counts was very poor.
I am hoping that this year that they have better car counts, but adding to money to a pavement track does not always provide the same results as adding money at a dirt track.
