Drivers and teams that would have raced there, come to the Jacksonville/Spoonriver/LaSalle racing weekend with POWRI. They won't screw an event up to the point of having to postpone it. |

Don...I totally agree. The POWRI guys would have not supported it even if there was not a conflict. I do not blame them though. Terre HAute requires a lot of motor and can tear up cars.

If replacing one of the "traditional big events" for midgets with a standard sprint event, and making a big $$ sprint event into a lesser event (SE) is enhancing the schedule, I think a bunch of us need to get out a Funk & Wagnalls to familiarize ourselves with the definition of enhance.

"enhancements" ... someone must be watching too many TV adds during NA$CAR races...
As far as the Hut 100 car count...I hope one day - if the event returns - to take part in the prestigious race. However, I will post, that if there is a ANY midget race at a track less than a 1/2 mile at a location closer to my house, I would most likely take part in that event instead. I wish they would go back to the mid-week date I believe the "Hut" used to be. It would take a fair amount of money for me to get down there and back though too... |

And we all wonder why the World of Outlaws have all the TV coverage and get all the attention,,,,
Why not put all the cars in 1 place, on different weekends, get the media coverage, and hope down the road for the TV coverage to promote our non-wing drivers and attempt to encourage some of the wing racers to consider running non-wing again,, as the MOPAR Million and some other events did.

From a old timer fan's perspective, the last thing I would do is pay $35 for a ticket to a WoO show when I could watch paint dry for free. I'll take USAC and Indiana racing any day over that. JMO. Lot's of people here are good at pointing out the problems (griping), but few are any good providing serious substantial ideas for solving them, except maybe for Don Moore.:2: Right, Don? P.S. NASCAR and IndyCar are about the only two racing groups that I know of that do not pay to be on TV. |

Seems like it would be one heck of a show. Probably all about dollars or people afraid to invest the dollars this year. |
