I totally agree got to meet Chett and watch him race for the first time at the Gloria Shipman POWRi D2 race in August at Thunder Valley. Took the Dad's Auto Sales Challenge and went from the very back to take the victory.

Can not have any motor sports events at the facility 2 or 3 months prior to or following the event. The chances of this happening at Lucas oil from Nov. to March are very very slim. To be honest, I'm really surprised Bankers life opened up. They have a chance to have a decent size track as 1 entire end opens up bigger than a hockey rink. Not sure where they could pit everything, but I will be there to see what they can do. I just hope everyone else that says they are coming, show up. Without a good crowd, this will be one and done. Time restrictions equal $$$$
If Forrest decides he wants a midget race at LO, there will be a midget race at LO. Still, very much looking forward to midgets at BLF.

The friendships you make at the race track, just being able to go to the race track. I have a friend who has two kids. One is a 14 year old daughter who is battling cancer for her 3rd time and his 4 year old was just told he has cancer too. How bout we just all enjoy life and get off the back's of all the promoters in the country and enjoy the sport we love.
I would say that puts things in perspective

Wasn't this already a failed attempt at Kemper Arena in Kansas City? By the reports it was an oversized 1/4 (.25) midget track. What's going to be different about this deal.
Way to be positive.

This post is so true about ******** over any and every little thing. I am about ready to walk away from this site, know a lot of people will say good but it don't matter to me. This ******** is not even close to what Bill would want or allow.
