I for one, 
look forward to some different, some new, some old winners around the Midwest tracks, 
while others go wing racing. 
This will survive by getting back to grass roots. Local owners/drivers get your neighbors to bring the kids out and cheer you on. 
Meet n Greets & Autograph sessions are things to give the kids hero's and us those connections to the sport & to get the butts in the seats. And before you say it, (this can be done and should be) while there's still action on the track. 
Today's low tolerance for downtime begs for it. 
Lets all put the first foot forward in a positive tone, as 2015 is just about to crank up.
So the silver lining is now the local garage teams have a higher % chance of winning
with brains and courage, not $$$.
