Like Geoff, I wish we had a (pavement) car, and could currently afford to run it. We would support this race in a heartbeat! Berlin has not only a very racy facility, but rabid fans of all types of racing too!!!
JMO, the series has seen enough humility, and should be willing to race at some of the shorter tracks. With that said, the bigger dollars won't be there, but more exposure might help that down the road. Running 5 dirt races a year doesn't exactly keep the series on anyone's front page. Yet with so many 1/2 miles out there, there should be at least one dirt race a month... Again, just my opinion. The shows on the Terre Haute 1/2 are usually fabulous!! Why wouldn't that work at say, Williams Grove? The purses may not be stellar, but would obviously pay more than a Sprint Car show, and would help the keep the series as a marquis type of event. Then, by the time the cars came to Springfield, there might be a bit more buzz about the series, instead of the cars sitting idle for months... In turn, more butts maybe in the seats at Springfield... And then everyone can scream at Sargeant that "WE WANT MORE $$$"!!! :2:
Anyways. I could go on, but just thought I would throw that out there... God I miss you guys!
