The question of what is diiferent is a valid one. I'll be honest with you if the local tracks would be running a weekly Midget show I probably would not have jumped in with both feet like this but the way it is right now there just isn't any. I wanted to add another element to our series by bringing in another premier draw that would complement our sprint car series. I believe that there is a large Midget fan base in Indiana and in our bordering states that are waiting for something like this to open up. Plus, I was amazed to find out how many Midgets are just parked and collecting dust because their owners feel that they can't compete with the big money teams so they just pretty much gave up. I feel that leaving these cars parked because of this feeling of an inability to compete against the big money operations is detrimental to the sport of Midget racing as I believe it is also the same in the non-wing sprint car ranks. All we are bringing to the table is an option and as with our sprint car series if you choose to run with us GREAT if not I respect your decision. All I ask is that you try us out one time and then decide. Thank you John gurley
