They have been turned down by almost every sanctioning body. Would be a tough sell for fans to travel that far to watch on a track similar to 40 they passed on the way.
At least for now, My days of long trips and that includes anything more than a hour and a half or one hundred miles are done. There's some trips that I had planned like Eastern Storm and others tha are on hold both from a financial and family members health standpoint.

Belleville Midgets I don't think ever had a fan problem, The car count just went down and down. It was held during the fair and correct me if Im wrong, But wasn't the fans responsible for the purse being what it was? I know there were some die hards.

Anyway, It's a trophy that most racers wanted in their trophy case
