I have not contacted the promoter about that possible date but it certainly would be an ideal time for the midgets to make an appearance at that track. I'm not a part of the promotion but I did tell him that I would be willing to work with him in getting something started. We would need a least 20 cars to show for an event. A successful event would certainly lead to more dates. If midget racing is to make a comeback (other than midget week) in Indiana, midget teams need to come out of the garages and help revive regional races.

Here is a promoter that will give it a shot, we have one midget owner that is going to help get things started. The big question is how many more are willing to bring this deal out in front of what I am sure would be a packed house. After talking to people that were at Montpelier Saturday I have heard nothing negative said about the way things were run. How many race track's have you been to that had the concessions at half price when the features rolled around? We need to support the promoters that support the racers.
