Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Why ?

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

I heard it was a total disaster and the track was smaller than my bathroom. I think the police shut the place down the first night in the wee hours of the morning. Heard there was a doctor on call to treat those that suffered claustrophobia.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Being there ... The first night was a little rough, but the second night actually was pretty good in fact the feature was a really good race. At one time it was youtubed I think. The other nice thing is this guy is offering a great purse for this event. We have ran two races he has promoted and both have been really good events that paid very well. You seriously need to get out and experience these things first hand ...

Naw.. I'll pass on this deal. Christmas shopping sounds more exciting.....

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Not surprised ....

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

not into full midgets "racing" on ".25" QM tracks......

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

My god, is there a more negative poster than Don Moore? You would think by now he would just be done with Midgets and join his local rec. softball league.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Don't read my posts, real simple.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Hey Don, it's hard not to when you cover half the front page with your hate spewing against everyone that runs a Midget these days.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Wasn't this the event where Tony Stewart and Danny Lasoski ended up giving a hand with track prep after the first night? I remember reading lots of negativity at first but it sounds like it turned out pretty awesome once they got the track figured out. I'd be there if the wife would let me out of the house at Christmas....LOL

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Do you have a phone number so I can check with you the next time I post?

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

I thought it looked pretty cool myself. I mean after all it's still racing in the middle of winter..Right.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3UFQKkC2Vk Check it out...:6: Sorry Charles I din't see where you had already posted the youtube link.Still pretty cool for December.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

:5: Don, your immaturity knows no bounds.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Don how can you complain about a 5,000.00 to win on Friday then a 10,000.00 to win on Saturday. Just be happy someone is putting up some cash in the middle of winter for racers to try and go get.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Here is an event that pays good doesn't take a 40K engine to win and a promoter who is actually trying to further our cause by actually promoting his events.

Don how do you taking shots at this event further the cause of Midget Racing ?

Not only did this thing pay great up front last year but it also paid well through the field.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Hey... if that's what you like, go for it.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Tim I just noticed your picture is that Bob Kinser. If not it sure looks like him he was one tough dude. He is the guy that made me respect my fellow driver lol. Because I knew I never wanted to face him in the pits. Anyway that is a way cool pic.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Don, do you move your Bathroom to the ALLEN CO. COLISEUMIN IN FT.WAYNE every year?

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

why is it perfectly acceptable to run midgets on a tiny indoor concrete track in the middle of winter but not acceptable to run them on a little bigger indoor dirt track in the middle of winter? for more money?

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

And we shall, but again I ask what good does it do for midget racing to have you get on this message board and take shots at this event ?

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

You guys missed your calling as standup comedians.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

To quote a contributer to this board "Your Off Topic" ....

And just to be clear I see no humor in tearing down these events .. It harms the promoters, the racers, and most of all the sport.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

With the way Don insults EVERYONE from USAC to Hoosier to the fans who help pay the purses he runs for (Does he even race anymore?), albeit as meager as they maybe, how come he hasn't been banned?

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Big money, big names, in the middle of winter, thats a early Christmas present :8: :32:

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

You guys are such good salemen, you've almost talked me into it. :5:

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Seriously Don you should listen to yourself. You want Midget racing to get stronger and you are complaining about a race with a great purse. You complain about the track size and you compete in Ft Wayne for an 1/8 of the purse. I am beginning to believe that you just want to complain not help.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

I went last year too and had fun....it ended up being a pretty cool event and the championship feature was a dogfight. I can't see much wrong with it, and this race paved the road for a well-paying outdoor midget race. Can't see a bad thing about it.

I guess I'll now open up the forum to tear apart this race, midgets, POWRi, Kemper Arena, and the entire city of Kansas City, along with a few pot shots at me. Goodnight and good luck...

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

I want to personally thank don...if he hadnt posted this thread I wouldnt have known about this race, so thanks to him ill be there in december thanks DON!!:26:

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

To be truthful, Kemper Arena is pretty much a dump.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

I wish they would run the 1000cc or 1200cc mini sprints we would be there to race

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

they did last year..
better watch if they do it again, Don Moore might race his full midget with ya. I remember a few years ago when he brought his midget to race in a non-wing mini sprint race at Lakeville, and barely won.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Yea we missed it last year didnt have the funds to make the trip

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

I'm glad this event is back for a second go-around. :8:

I was there last year for the second night. The only bad thing about it was the fact that all doors to the building were wide-open due to fumes. It didn't help that it was -10 degrees outside. The racing was pretty good and the venue was a lot nicer that some other tracks I've been to. And I think they got the track surface figured out and they know what to expect this time...That being said.....

Mr. Moore:
Before I begin this rant, I want to let you know that I DO NOT like bashing or talking trash on people.

But Don, I just don't get what there is to bash about this event. You constantly post on this board about the high cost of midget racing and lack of well-paying midget events. This is an event when there are no other races going on in the winter season, and if enough people come back to support it, it will only continue to grow. You absolutely DO NOT need a heavy-hitting, big dollar motor to run the Kemper Arena, which is right up your alley. You could very possibly be one of the top contenders at this race, that is if you have a car still. Are you even a car owner anymore, because I don't remember the last time I saw your car at the track. It would be silly for you not to show up at this race. You'd be a hypocrite for not running this event. Just my opinion. Please enlighten me if I'm way out of line, because I'm sure you will. :17:

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

While I believe what Don preaches as far as midget troubles. The above example states the hypocrosy of Dons Critiszm of this event.

IF the Rumble series was on dirt. I wouldn't miss one of em.

Chuck, who didn't see a wheel stand one in ft wayne. It was ok but no sideways and dominated by munchkins

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

I would just show up and claim to have motor problems one night and mag problems the next. Get my 3500 and head home. ;)

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Nah, no need to tear apart a perfectly good midget event like this one. Hopefully it will succeed and continue to grow.
Besides, judging from my full yahoo email inbox, most of this board seems much more interested in why the "Kevin Miller experiment" thread was mysteriously locked out. Page 10 must be really juicy! Do tell! :3:

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

Don can correct me if I am wrong but I took his original post and subsequent posts as sarcastic and not bashing.

Re: Night Before Midgets.... Again!
 

tim...i think this is a classic case of "youre wasting your breath..." :24::5:
