The fans on this web site have spoken over and over and over again that they want to see substantial car counts at a race. That's not going to change. It's at the top of the topic list on here along with dusty race tracks. The fans have been forgotten in all of this. The manufacturers are running what we know as midget racing today and the midget orgs have let them do it. The result is about 13 well funded midget teams and a few outsiders showed up at LaSalle. 16 cars total when there should have been 30-40 signed in and apparently the show consisted of two heat races and a feature. Hardly what the fan wants to pay to see in this current society. Once again the decline has been gradually happening over the last 12 years.

Smart business men and corporations follow closely the trend of society and their needs. Why do you think that McDonalds will tear down one of their buildings and build a new one? Society these days are attracted to the "new", something fresh. That sells and attracts customers. Something current and with the times sells products and this is dictated by the customer, not the manufacturers who build equipment for restaurants or the contractors and designers. This is why midget racing is F##### up today. The model is operating for all the wrong reasons. Again, the result of all of this is 16 cars showing for a premiere event.

16 cars for what is billed as a premiere midget race in the heart of the midwest with a few hundred midgets within 200 miles is not acceptable for the discerning fan today.
