Derrek-
While the Oskaloosa race has never been a USAC-sanctioned race, it has never been scheduled against, either. The head-to-head scheduling this year would have put a damper on Boswell and taken away quite a few of the headliners at Oskaloosa. McCarl would have had a hard time putting on the race again next year after that hit to a show that probably isn't an overwhelming profit to him, anyway, at least in comparison to the race he has on Monday.

Also, I'm sure USAC wanted both events to happen, but there's no way both would have been successful against each other, whether USAC sanctioned them both or not. Ultimately, one of the Midget Week races would have had to go and Union County was the obvious choice, as a newcoming track with a questionable past and not much of a following among the USAC guild. Unfortunately, that race must have already been under contract or something because it's obviously still on the schedule while Boswell, which deserves a Midget Week race as much as any other venue on that schedule, has been taken off....

The people involved who made this problem come about screwed up royally and we can only hope that Boswell comes back again next year.

And for those of you who wonder why it is a big deal for people on here, simply look back to last year's scheduling problems and all the hell it caused. And after all that, is Sharon on the schedule this year? These problems only create more for the future, and I, for one, would be extremely upset if the midgets didn't return to Boswell!
