Ardc was in trouble once non wing 360s came into the area. Ardc was weak to begin with and the tracks in this area are better suited to sprints plus they pay nearly double to win. Ardc was regulated to micro sprint tracks and half miles when they needed to be at places like path valley grandview and lincoln

They were in trouble before the usac 360s which came in last year. Check wiki and look at some of the tracks the club raced at, many tracks smaller than half miles. And when did you start considering the ARDC weak, Have you been here to witness the last 35 years of their racing?

From what I was told drivers wanted a May-August schedule and USAC didn't want that. As for "checking the classifieds for cars" there aren't any from PA on there yet but there are some for sale including Alex Bright's operation. There are rumblings of some people forming to have some races this year. There is one race scheduled for the midgets at Lincoln Speedway on May 11th as of now. Things could change.

Indiana open wheel is available BECAUSE of people dedicated to open wheel racing and their fans. Our sport has suffered countless setbacks since the TV was invented along with the internet and track closures etc. So we all know that the days of ARDC running NINE shows a week in front of packed stadiums were over before most on this web site were born. But it also managed to survive and increase car counts with new blood countless times, over and over, because MIDGETS are just so cool. Nothing compares to the CHILI BOWL...So, PLEASE, REFRAIN from posting "from what I heard" gossip and negative comments that don't help anything. There are some people that love midgets trying to find a way out of this. They could use any help or support available and really don't need people "stepping on their shoe aces".

Jon boat my name is wayne lesher....I'm curious what your name is?
I'm also assuming I'm the person who you are referring to as cutting and running For your inadequate information I have recently purchased a midget in hope of supporting a couple races Also if you would like to involved you can certainly help out. I'm sure though you will continue to run your mouth. Anonymously of coarse. Because that's the way you and those like you roll. Everyone has an opinion on what happened to east coast midgets. Maybe it was the rules, maybe engine cost, maybe this maybe that. The bottom line is most of the expensive engines have left and we still can't get interest in local events. That's exactly why we arent racing.....when you have 30 cars available and 8 show up to a race. But I guess you know that already since you seem to know everything.
