Until the Toyota's are reigned in a bit the perception that a guy can't be competitive on the bigger race tracks without a monster motor are becoming reality. I do think there are a place for some historic 1/2 mile tracks on the schedule... Eldora (4-Crown), Belleville (Nationals), and Terre Haute (Hut). With Turkey Night being moved from a 1/2 to a 1/5 it has helped the schedule some and I think that race will have more cars this year. I don't think the promotional issues Terre Haute had a few years back have helped this race either. However, now with the O'Connors doing it that seems to be fixed.

In due time I hope to see this race back and at Terre Haute where it belongs! I was fortunate enough to see it 2 years in a row at Tri-State and it was great. I have never seen midgets at Terre Haute and would love to!
Pretty sure its just Bob Sargent promoting at THAT now.
