Plymouth Speedway has done a fantastic job with promotion and new ideas but I just simply do NOT like this. What about the guys that would have been in the B Main but will now be in a C Main because of the provisionals? To me that is just not right...
The guys that would have been in the b-main will still be in it. just a few extra cars in each b-main.

SMH , very disappointed..
The way I understood the announcement is if there would be a split the driver is still in. he's the winner.

Also the MavTV race Tuesday, June 21st race with the 410 Non-Wing Sprints, UMP Modifieds, & NEW Pro 602 Crate Sprint class.
This will be the "Tony Elliott Tribute".
The track contacted Cindy Elliott to get the ok to do this.

I love things that are designed to specifically promote midget racing, not unlike the Jonathan Byrd's Indy Challenge.

There will be stacked fields at all of these Plymouth Midget races, and undoubtedly they will be featured on MAV TV as well.

Per the tracks Facebook page.
READ THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE TRACKS FACEBOOK PAGE.
Due to the large out cry against the idea these 3 races have been cancelled.
http://www.facebook.com/PlymouthSpeedway

USAC Midgets still on with WOO sprints for Friday, May 13th.

I am not sure how cancelling events is in the best interests of any series. I think the concept is an outstanding idea however locking in cars into already one of the hardest to make shows in the racing world, to me dilutes the effort of the 300+ competitors vying for those positions. A thought I had was to lock in the series champion into the Race Of Champions on Tuesday night. I think the mini series could be run in several different areas of the country and would be a great addition to the "ALL Star" concept of the ROC. Just a thought and thank you for your efforts to promote midget racing

I honestly don't know why you punish yourselves the fans and racers after the announcement by totally cancelling.

I think thought out and worked on a bit more, It could be done without cheapening the CB. Something like tag the tail of a A of a Qualifying night with one position point less than those that got in that night. With is results that night determining Saturdays placement, Even if he/she finishes last in the prelim night A. It puts him able to skip E-N features. possibly. Without being given a reasonably doable shot at Saturdays A for something totally unrelated to the CB.
