Thanks for the, um intermission, Brucer...
But back to the subject, I just had a long conversation with Mel; heck of a nice guy. The long and short of it is, he still hasn't got the Midget rules nailed down yet, and had kind of a misperception that the Mini Sprints had an advantage over full Midgets at Montpelier (somebody told him they let Mini Sprints run wings against the Midgets; what the heck?). I did my best to persuade him that a "National" Midget still has the edge, but Mini Sprints can be competitive and add to the car count. He's also had discussions with Greg Watson (Alex Watson's Dad) who's told him the same thing. Mel said he would give our input some serious thought and give me a call when he's decided what he's going to do. Maybe some of you other sprocket-heads should give him a call, too; take up your chains and rise!!! We have nothing to lose but our Friday nights!

I know, my brother, I was there; I don't know who's giving Mel the Kool-Aid (thought that was my job ) about us puttin' it to the Midgets but I did my best to set him straight. Time will tell if we'll have another place to get sideways...

It's getting a little late to still be figuring out what any rules are. Someone is behind and the season is on top of us. Monica

But, as I said before, he seems like a really nice guy; he has a real affection for that race track and wants to do everything he can to make it a first-class operation. He has some good ideas for getting people in the stands and making new fans out of kids. It was a packed half-hour phone call; I wish Mel every success, and hope to support his Midget venture if the rules allow us the opportunity.

I am sorry to get people concerns up all I know is Mel took the track and did not let it sit dark as was a real possibility.
Like Jones said Mel cares about Gas City and will do what he has to too make it work, sorry he does not have things as perfect as some of the fans/drivers/owners would like but again it beats the hell out of not running Gas City at all. I for one have faith in Mel and his team. Please keep in mind the last time Gas City wanted to update the stands the town of Gas city was the one that stopped progress not the track. Hope to see you all in a month or so. Jerry
