......... but why are there 200+ cars at Tulsa and 18 at B'ville? The Gold Crown Nationals averages 50 cars, why was there only 18 at B'ville?? Remember, Putnumville has ran as many races this year as there have been B'ville midget nationals...........
It was my feeling that we could race Bloomington, Kokomo, Gas City, Eastern Storm, Buck-eye Nationals, ect... and our guys would be surrounded by a much safer facility then THE HIGH BANKS!
I always felt grateful (and lucky) each year that we left B'ville and we did not leave someone behind...........
**** Bellville always had the best in safety equipment and staffing

Your post has a couple of intersting points. You state that you always felt lucky to leave Belleville with no injuries. Is your concern with the track facitlities or the speed of the track? It would seem that if the facilities are the issue that the track would not be safe for any of the four classes that are being discussed. I thought that people were arguing that the cars are going too fast, which is why I was arguing the case for the WOO cars. I understand that they are different cars with different styles. However, the WOO cars do go faster.
The point about the midget car count is another topic entirely. I have a lot of opinions about that one.
Reading CoonDogs post was also very interesting because he is one of my favorite drivers.
However, a Belleville midget nationals with Silver Crown cars does not sound as exciting as a triple bill. A triple bill show at Belleville would be a "must see".
