Makes me wonder what might have been, if something like this had been started 25-30 years ago. A series for sprint/midget/silver crown guys which included road course experience. Can it be such a bad thing? I have a lot of respect for Bruce Ashmore for putting his money and a$$ out there, in an attempt to do SOMETHING to help short trackers advance. That takes a lot of guts. It's really easy to do nothing, there is too much of that going on anyway.
I mean, it wasn't that long ago that Roger Penske hired Jason Leffler to run his car in the Indy 500. So hiring a midget guy is not THAT foreign of an idea to Penske. Maybe if Leffler and others had road course experience owners would look harder at "our guys".
If we ever want to see "our guys" at Indy again (and don't we all?) we have to start somewhere. As it stands now, there is no chance. I say we give it a try. If it's not your cup of tea, no one is holding a gun to your head to go see them. A closed mind is a terrible thing to waste.
My humble opinion.
David.


Jason Leffler at Indy for Roger Penske. Yes, hell just froze over.
