If you can't build a race motor.....you can't build a street car motor into a race motor.

If you think people can't see two seconds on the track....you are a fool. 2 seconds is a lifetime. If anyone doesn't think so ...go to youtube and watch how different the racing is at a place like Angel Park. There are videos of Illini Features and Powri features on similar track conditions.

That wasn't as much a story on the identity crises of midget racing as it was propaganda.

Sprint Cars and Micros occupy all of the Niches once filled by Midgets.

There are plenty of things that could be done to the current platforms to help curb costs without introducing and mandating a new platform.

Midget Racing for the most part is headed down the road of scca where there are little to no fans and a minimal at best, payout .

If more people were less concerned on "Saving" the sport and focused more on enhancing and growing the sport, the sport would be better off.

I find it amazing how no one is able to see that when guys like Jack Calabrase and Kenny Brown come along and promote the sport from the bottom up....the health of the sport magically gets better.

You think it's a rich guy sport now....wait until you get Chevy ,Ford, Toyota and Honda all involved.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't/ won't get a motor someday and run with Illini or Badger. Lot of good people who race with them. I'm just not much for the Misinformation and rhetoric.

Midget racing suffers more from greed and apathy than anything else.
