Don, I totally agree with you, and I'm so damnd glad, that instead of buying a full midget, in 1991, I bought a TQ, that I thank myself everyday for that decision. I would have dearly loved to had a midget, but as I looked at what was then, just the beginning, of what is now, I thought Nah, I'll wait and see, I had several friends with midgets, and it would have been fun, but not for long, that's about the time things started spreading out across the country, some help came when the 16th track was put to use, but we were still running TQ's, not making big purses, but we didn't have to buy the wheel, or the hood of the day, to be able to keep up. GoKarts got the same way, there isn't much anymore that can be added, and still call it racing, you might just as well go to a Casino for the night, your odds would be better. I'm hoping John pulls some good car counts with the new series, and I never understood why, in the past, some track owner didn't say to himself, man, there's a nich that needs filled, I'm gonna invite them to run at my track! But, no one stepped up, and it's where it is today, but maybe that's about to change, lets hope so! Bob
