A race steeped in tradition and excitement,the Indy 500 of Midget racing.
The one I want to see...!!!
What ever the reasons for the lack of interest in this years event,car count,conflicting dates or just plan apathy,someone or some-bodies need to get it sorted out.
Bring this race back up to the commitment and respect it deserves.
It has to be 100 laps and it has to be at Terre Haute.

IT REALLY SAD TO SEE WHATS HAPPEN TO THIS RACE!:headbang

This was year one of the new promoters, I would expect fans and teams simply went elsewhere because of the uncertainty of the new promoters ways. I expect next year to see hopefully atleast double the car count for this particular race.

55 Minutes to run a 20 lap modified race! Good thing they cut it to 20 laps from 30 Lots of people left before the midgets finished. Lots of down time for nothing. Enjoyed the grader and bobcat in the 1st turn, they really knew what they were doing. Not so sure about the rest of the operation.

Because Midgets and Sprint cars never spin out right?

I like Super, he tells it like it is. Midgets spinning? They ran the 100 laps in about the same time as the 20 lap modifieds!

Duke...Why is it they get over 50 cars at the night before the 500?? Same engines. This was a scheduling thing. The purse structure for the race was an a complete joke. USUC just continues to amaze me.

ALSO THE COST OF RUNNING A MIDGET OR SPRINT IS VERY LITTLE! ALSO NOW YOU HAVE A DIRT CAR OR PAVEMENT HOW DUMB IS THAT? SO YOU CHOOSE NOW WHAT TO RACE!:checkered:
