If this really happens, it will be awesome! Pavement Midget racing needs to come back to life!

Following the indoor rules or trying to draw the older cars out of retirement would be great! Hard tires on that small track would make for some good racing.

tires were thge big exspense when we ran the regional series there. You really needed at least 6 new tires per night. Maybe a spec tire rule thats hard would help with that, although I don't know alot about the spec rules today.

It was a dirt track for part of one season in the '50's. It was a dusty, dirty track but always a paved track until Stiles finished paving the infield in'78.

The TQ's always put on a good show there.Along with the legend cars and midgets.It would be great to run there every other week with the midgets and tq's.I wonder how many would run there if given the chance.

Back to a Wed. or Thur. night deal. Around 15-18 shows for the season. Maybe bring back the Indy Midget 500?

A Wednesday or Thursday night deal isn't feasible for most midget teams nowadays.... it would be better to try and run on a Friday Saturday or Sunday night.

They have their Stock Car races on the weekends, so I doubt that will happen. Wed. or Thur. is still the best option. They will get cars!
