I will give my two cents about this as a driver that ran Saturday Night in the Midgets.

I appreciate John trying to get a midget series going in Indiana. We have been saying it needed to be done for some time and he has steped up to do it. I knew there were going to be issues as it was first race but there were somethings that really bugged me.

The whole tire deal for the midgets is really messed up. You can run two tires Hoosier SP 4 OR American Racer SD44. Now one would think these two tires would be comparable but they are NOT!!!! The SP4 durometers at almost 70 and the SD44 durometers at a 45. That is almost a 30 point difference.

When questioned this call one person told me they would look at but they would not budge and this is what everyone said were the 2 tires that should be ran. Someone else was asked and said that this was done on purpose to push American Racer. The problem here is that one: they did not bring any tires to the track, and the American Racer is comparable to a SP2 Hoosier tire.

That was my biggest problem with everything and think that this needs to be looked at. If you want to push American Racer than make it so only one tire is legal to run...American Racer SD44.

Thats my two cents about the race. It was good racing, track was dry and was going to rubber down for the features. Was turning into a one line race on the high side.
