I like both series because I like midget racing. We ran 7th last night at granite to Keith's cars and bacon not too bad for a "so called national midget" huh? Not going to a midget race because of the sanctioning body is dumb. You're missing out because little Belleville and Jacksonville and Macon are great midget tracks.
So now I'm dumb as you just called me. When you run out of facts it's always easy to just use the personal attack card. Care to compare degrees?
I owned and drove sprints/midgets for many years so this "fan" as you like to call me understands how both sides work. I know Belleville, Jacksonville, and Macon are great tracks I've been going to them for many many years. I've even ran wing sprint cars at Belleville when they used to host them in the 90s.
As Brent said this is more about the promoter/owner than it is about series vs series. I choose not to support the owner of Powri. That's my choice and I'm not "dumb" because of it. Ever wonder why Powri doesn't have winter races at DuQuoin anymore? I happen to know the real reason and it would most likely surprise a lot of people if they knew the answer.
Also a big thank you to Kevin, Tammy, the staff and USAC for all of the hard work to make this event happen. Kevin was even up on top of the backhoe bucket trying to fix the top of the fence that Brady tore down.
