I, for one, love the midgets at IRP, they are scary fast there, but it is a very busy weekend (we were at the IMS memorabilia show till about 7 promoting the club), and look at the other choices everyone had to go racing, add the lateness of the start, and then the fact that the feature took about 10 minutes to run. MIdgets will once again be a plenty starting June 12 at Gas City for Indiana Midget week, check local listings, jmho, bob.  |
Ok, first of all, I respect you Bob. you don't know me but I respect you. So I apologize if this sounds like a smartazz reply, but you should have read what I wrote! I wrote that I waited to see as a test, I waited to see if there was going to be a post or many posts as usual about "the night before the 500" and what this post was about was less of a complaint and more of a recognition of the death of enthusiasm for "the night before the 500" race particularly on this website. Then at the end of your post, you reinforced what I was stating....midgets are not only racing on dirt (for now) they are still racing on pavement and if we let it, it will die! The purpose of my posting is to ask why there were no posts for the pavement midget race that happened at IRP the night before the 500, and did not have anything to do with the car count at Gas City for the upcoming Indiana midget week. Thank you for your post though...
I still would like to know from other members on here: Why? Why no more interest in pavement midget racing? Especially a once prestigious race like "the night before the 500"? No enthusiasm? I'd like to know why? Do you care if it dies like the pavement sprints did? I sure do!
