Dad,
Nothing wrong with competition. HOWEVER, Montpelier Speedway has taken a chance and started racing midgets when NO ONE ELSE did. They have nurtured this class from only drawing a low car count to now having a very nice field of cars. It has taken time and they should be rewarded, which I think they will be, for providing a place to race midgets on dirt regularly.
In addition to running the midgets approximately twice a month they currently run the weekly classes of UMP modifieds, super streets, thunder cars, FWD compacts and mod lites. They are very organized and run a good and timely show due in part to having a curfew.
So now someone wants them to add ANOTHER class of cars (traditional sprints) to the racing card. WHY???????????????????????? As I mentioned before, you have 5 other dirt tracks in the region running traditional sprint cars on Saturday nights with USAC and MSCS series races sprinkled in. Add an occasional traditional sprint car race at Brownstown, Twin Cities and Plymouth. And from all of the reports and personal observations, they all seem to be doing it well. Tell me again why Montpelier should even consider adding sprint cars?
