I truly do not understand the love affair with POWRi. POWRi does a good job of being a regional race series. They understand what their drivers want and do a good job or catering to those drivers. POWRi does a good job on small tracks around the St Louis area. They do not take on big travel, nor do they do a bunch of mid-week shows. Take them away from St Louis or take them away from the small tracks and they have issues. I have been to plenty of POWRi races in the KC area that did not have a full field of cars. (24 cars)
POWRi also has a big issue with big name stars. Take Zach Daum out of the list and most people will have a hard time naming the POWRi stars.
Finally, I have an issue with POWRi scheduling against some of the biggest midget races in the country. We know that they have scheduled against the Belleville Midget Nationals, and the Gold Crown in the past. I would think a co-sanction would be the best answer, but if not a co-sanction at least take the night off so the teams that wanted to could attend the biggest midget races in the country.
I fell in love with the midgets at Angell Park during my one year is Wisconsin and I will support what ever midget series that is near by. USAC, POWRi, AMS (KC based group) I think that a good midget race is the best entertainment on dirt. I just wish that their was more cooperation among the groups.
