IMO, this does nothing but hurt both races.
Since I was a kid, Belleville has always been a "bucket list" race for me. I haven't made it yet but I still hope to if midget racing doesn't destroy itself first with stupid moves like this.

I don't think you will find any at Pevely that would of gone to Belleville. there will be some at Belleville that would of gone to Pevely but the car count at Pevely should be fine.
The midget clubs probably do not have much to do with this schedule conflict. Belleville date is tied to the local fair there and Powri is running with WOO which I am sure set the date there.
The racing at I55 last year was awesome in both divisions. It is a race I want to hit. Going to watch weather, may go to one or the other or I55 Friday Belleville Saturday.
