I saw that to and I am bummed. I missed last year for my sons graduation, but had been there the 3 years prior. It was the only time I got to see them live.

Once again, making posts to flame USAC with some false sense of hope for other midget clubs. So tell me - how many cars would have showed up if it was still a non-USAC show? Shoot, Badger used to take more cars to Knoxville than even exist in that club now.

One thing that didn't help the event was the horrific condition of the track in 2009. It was obvious that there was no interest in the race, and there was never much of a crowd for the midget race (even without the horrible USAC being involved). Of course, it never really paid worth anything, either, for the type of strain a track like Knoxville puts on midgets. It was doomed...

On the other hand, the excitement around the sprint car race last year before the rain came was very promising!! That is one race I'll be looking forward to...

Hey, where did I say anything about other clubs? Hmm, hmm, hmmm, that's what I thought.

Yet agian someone putting words in a post I didn't say.

The posts by the USACistas are getting more desperate as time goes on. Guess when faced with the facts they just can't handle it.

Would it be better to have USAC first instead of after 3 nights of wing racing? Just asking, not trying to open a can of worms cause i don't fish. :11:

The midgets, sanctione by USAC or any other group, have been replaced with three nights of the World of Outlaws Sprint Series.

As far as horrible track conditions, I didn't think they were that bad. Have definitely seen a lot worse.

Simple fact is that there were only 22 midgets signed it. I believe that's the same number USAC guaranteed Terre Haute for the Hut 100. Why would the folks at Knoxville believe they would see any more midgets this year under the existing circumstances?

Add into that the death of Chad McDaniel and a poor groundstand crowd, could you really expect another decision?

You must be new around here. I'd save your breath, he doesn't really care about facts or proof, he just goes around and slings his mud and then insults anyone who disagrees with him and he gets away with it too.

You are funny indeed. I insult those who don't agree with me? I sling mud? I have a questions for you. If indeed what you say is true about me, is your post any better?

I think the reason badger has lost so many cars is the fact that usac
and badger have ignored car owners pleas to put in rules to control costs
not even tony stewart can justify the cost of midget racing now! there are many simple rules that could be instituted but the powers that be would rather let it die out. nascar still runs carburators and steel wheels
for christ sake and i don't think you'll find carbo fiber bodies on those cars
either. it seems like common sense and peoples' iq's sometimes have
nothing to do with each other.

Throw Back- Very well said. We need to cut costs to bring
the Stroehles-Millers back to midget racing. Among many others.
