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...
