Long, long...time lurker, first time poster. I first have to say THANK YOU to Apex and Revolution for their posts.

The thing some of you old school guys are missing about twitter is exposure. You say you can wait to hear the results a couple days later, which is fine. The thing twitter may contribute to is getting new fans by following say their nascar or indycar heros that tweet about dirt racing or dirt racers. What happens next is, young kids will go to youtube (I wish I could say SpeedTv) and check out sprint cars and midgets.

Another thing I don't get is when you guys say oh well they are giving the product away...really? Because I use twitter, but getting updates isn't like what I saw last week at Indiana Midget week. Seeing a midget week race to me is like watching the super bowl an hour from my house, because this is the sport I love.

We have to take every opportunity to get new fans, I don't care whether they are into motocross, drag racing, atv racing, snowmobile racing..spreading the word cannot hurt!

We all know as soon as kids get an idea into their head (and if their parents have the funds), growing 1/4 midget numbers all the way to full midgets and sprint cars will happen.

Why can't USAC do something simple like if you bring X number of people to the track that haven't seen a race before you get X number of dollars off your ticket or so many tickets to upcoming races for free.

Sorry this was a little long, I could say much more, but maybe this will make sense to some.
