Deegan ran a Midget for Kruseman in 2011 in Tulsa. To put it simply, the respect level that he had for us dirt guys considerably jumped up. This is a guy who does CRAZY stuff on a motorcycle 60+ feet in the air at 50MPH.
We all know Pastrana is absolutely nuts, and with enough practice, Ken Block would be one to watch.
Id also put my $.02 in for Cruz Pedregon and Ron Capps. I know they have some Late Model seat time. It'd be a way to get some fans in from the NHRA side as well.
I tweeted to them I would like to see the father son team of Jac and Sheldon invited. Then I thought how bout another father son team of Steve an Kraig. I know Steve has run the chili bowl a few times, not sure if Kraig has ever run a midget. I thought I saw the king may be going down under this year which might conflict. But something I would like to see
