First thing off the bat, I think Bloomington is a done deal, it should be a big success with a little work on their behalf. It will be a success.

We on the other hand have raced Midget sized cars that have always chosen to call themselves (something--Sprint's). Over the last 20 or 25 years we have been fortunate to race at many different race tracks. Some of those tracks have been fun and fit our cars perfectly,while others have been real "Bears", taking a lot of fun out of racing and we would just as soon not go back. As a support group, we need a home track to race from to help keep expenses low, and keep us racing. What I am going to do is make a poll with no right or wrong responses and one that you guys can add to if you want to. Simply check off which ever tracks you like and if you have a favorite track please add it to the list as I know my memory is not that good.

somehow I lost the ability to add a track to the mix. Is there any way to do it now? Heck I left out Montpelier In.>> a track that was on my do not return list that has changed to a track we love to race at.

May be a little bias here but montpelier is my choice..just because we run them non wing with the midgets and there series has really started to take off..anytime we run the mmsa or other mini sprint races the turnout is really good as well..Its a little bigger track but not to bad..hope to see quite a few cars come up this weekend for our midget race.

I checked the box for add on tracks but it disappeared when I hit enter.

Montpelier and Tri State would be on my list of favorite tracks. Both have great tracks and put forth extra efforts to give the racers a good track to race on and have the equipment to do so.

Brown County Ohio was a super track for our cars, now you can't even find it on a Google Map. But we sure had a lot of fun racing there.

I left out Paragon Indiana. We only raced there once. When we got there we thought boy this place is too big for us to be racing on but it turned out them tight turns and Long straights was real neat. You could hear the cars accelerate all the way down them straights, burp it set up for the turn back peddle through the turn modulating the throttle and take off again. That was a really fun track to race Osgood is like a mini Paragon. and Madison like a mini mini version of Paragon. Old school race tracks. But great places to learn about racing
