Ok, so why in the world would you schedule the race in Danville tonight?
Talk about a bad first impression to a promoter willing to try Midgets (assuming avon open wheel fan has a hand in this).

First off, I don’t know of a lot of cars to draw from in the east central Illinois/west central Indiana area? With that said, you might look for an open date to attract some cars from elsewhere.

But. You pick a night to run against the worst possible track to schedule against, Montpelier, which takes up the usual national cars AND USAC MTM.
Even if your schedule came out first, that’s a bad move and should have been changed.
Then add in the fact that POWRi is just 90 miles away at Macon. MMSA is at North Vernon. BADGER is at Sycamore. USAC/IMRA at Spoon River, and the last remaining Midgets on the planet will be putting on a super exciting 6 car feature at South Bend (also courtesy of avon open wheel fan).
