This guy made a point, but didn't really make that good of a case to back up his point, then several others followed up and did so with their counterpoint. There are a lot of people on IOW who really know their stuff. If you're going to start a thread and make a controversial point, you'd better be able to back it up. Otherwise you'll more than likely end up getting cancelled out by someone who can.

You reply to me, but not the person that started this idiotic thread?

Please post your resume. Perhaps someone can find you a job cleaning restrooms after the races if nothing else.

I replied to your demanding that we ban another poster. The guy has almost 1500 posts. He's not going to be banned just because you don't agree with what he's saying. I'm done with discussing this matter.

I was demanding you ban another poster?

If that "poster" calls for the firing of ANY racing official I'm going to stand up and say it's wrong. I've been on the other side of the fence.

He doesn't even have the courage to put his name on his posts.

Countless posts by "midget experts" have stated one solution is to race midgets on 1/4 mile and smaller tracks. I read Kevin Millers comments to be a change in that direction. Yet, the thread turns into the typical bashing.....midget racers are their own worst enemy.

Some of the thoughts and ideas I heard today seem very promising and should generate quite a bit of interest if they are able to be implemented.

I agree with comment above, it's not a new concept that the larger tracks, although fun to watch as a fan at times, are hard on engines and often result in midgets getting torn up.

I read into it as Miller actually is hearing what people are saying and may restructure the schedule to stay on smaller tracks much like Powri. Now, what that would do in terms of events like the 4-Crown and what not I'm not sure and that's why I'm not jumping to any conclusions.

I don't know about his other 1400 posts, but I know the last 2 have been no substance, and all personal attack. Starting discussion is one thing, but instead of stating an opposing view, this guy just attacks someone, saying they should be fired.

Most of you on this board are sheeple. You will follow wherever you're being lead off to. Including to slaughter.
I'd like to know, Mr. Fisher, have you ever owned a race car?
How about a midget?
Have you ever ran a race as an owner or as a driver with USAC?
We have had some very interesting discussions on this board, and we have beaten this dead horse so many times I don't have the energy or the enthusiasm to write it anymore. But I can tell you this. The only reason I post my opinion is because I care about the future of our sport.
Mr. Miller in my opinion has done nothing but hurt it. He's been paid exorbitantly for many years off of the sheeple that don't ask any questions about his performance.
I'm done with this...but thank you for expressing your opinion. That is one of the reasons of what this board is for. It's called freedom of speech in case you've forgotten that.
