I have worked for race teams in Indiana and Ohio and planned on moving there to continue my racing and be closer to the tracks I run....
The problem is..... unless you have about 50-100 grand you wont find a ride in Indiana period. Guys like Dave Darland and Jon Stanbough still sit at home sometimes because there arent very many teams the hire on talent alone... if your hoping to move to Indiana to find any ride you better have a big wallet coming with you... if your coming just to re-locate and still own your own stuff DO IT!!!!! Indiana is the best LOCATION in the world for a racer....but its not the place to get a ride... My point is I still live in Ohio and drive to Indy... there would be no benefit for me to leave my friends and family other than location....
Also...PA seems like the place to be for Midget racing and there Winged Sprintcar purses are 10 times better then out local purse here.... Some of the best drivers in the country move to P.A. because of the compition and money!!!
The last time I checked two of the best drivers in the country Darland and Stanbrough have full time rides and they never have go far to find other rides if they need one.Heck I even seen them on the same team at the end of the year at one of the best tracks in the country!!!!!!
