I didn't even see Don's post before posting mine, so I am in no way trying to argue or anything of that nature.

Don I am not in any way shape or form trying to disagree that midget racing is struggling right now. That said; if I stand in my shop and scream it's six o' clock; I am going to be right twice a day. If for ten years I say something is going to decline; I am eventually going to be right. Just like if I sit here proclaim something will turn around: it eventually will.

I am not a doom and gloomer. I remember when USAC had real miserable car counts in the early 90's when the clutches were used.(I was and still am a believer that startes and clutches were the right direction) I also remember how NAMARS did their own thing and had great counts and then 16th street came along and car counts went through the roof again. MARA was running then, but their car counts weren't that huge. 20-25 cars.

As of now; there is no incentive for anyone to put a midget together in the Indiana, Ohio,Michigan, and Northern Illinois region because they won't be able to race it without long tows.(I realize the the IRS series offers a market of sorts) If we could get the Indiana tracks to run 4 shows a month it would be big, but I understand why they don't.

I don't know why Don didn't go last night and it's none of my business. It's his toys to do with what he wants. I like and respect Don.

I hope Don will be at Jacksonville this weekend. The sport is better off when his white #10's come off the trailer.

Me personally; I would rather be at the track adding to the sport I care about than sitting at home dicussing it's demise.
