Its a shame that your Board and Officials are so affraid of competition and giving up some of their power at Co-sanctioned races that they kill midget racing.
With 8 midgets and 4 Focus powered cars promoters and Track Owners will be beating down your doors to book you....
Best of Luck to you
Honestly nor the Board or Officials are afraid, why would they be..... the membership was not supporting the shows. In case you missed it the group has been pulling about around 20 cars for their dirt races. But only about 3-4 for the pavement shows..... it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the membership does not support the joint shows.
By the way, not that anyone has to answer to you but tomorrow night in Placerville we expect 25+ cars.
Once again, the idea is to get the cars racing on dirt back on the pavement. You must have missed that point in your desire to slam the BCRA.
With that said, I am curious why the BCRA would be responsible for killing midget racing by trying something new... following USAC's lead has put "Midget racing in California on Life support" (your words). So by definition by doing nothing you are allowing a sport to perish.
I would venture to say that this move is going to hurt USAC more than the BCRA, and based on your affiliation I am sure that is why you have issue with it. Keep in mind they have not outlawed any car, the DMS cars are still legal. They have just decided to move a different direction. Also based on your affiliation you are not even BCRA members... so why do you care?
In closing we took the Focus cars to Shasta to support Rick, and he thanked us. Your joint BCRA/USAC show (that you value so) was not that great of a show anyways, not like we made it any worse.
