Your 78 posts are showing your newness to this board. This is another item that always gets a lot of emotion.

You are correct Belleville is a very fast 1/2 mile, but until a recent effort to help with the starting money. It was having a very hard time getting cars.

The Gold Crown at Tri-City was another high paying midget event that struggled to get good car counts.

While USAC will book the bigger tracks, it appears that POWRi has traditionally stayed away from the larger tracks.
