Our only concern at this point is who has accepted invitations to compete in the midget division and it appears no one can answer that question. At least no one who reads and posts here. The order in which the Friday & Saturday night A-mains is of no particular import at this point and midget car count is not the information we seek, it's more a case of who as opposed to how many.

The two prior years the dome event ran in direct conflict with the Junior Knepper 55 USAC National Midget show an hour and a half to the east over in Du Quoin and we, without regret, opted for Du Quoin in both instances which boasted a very good car count with no support division. The value quotient made the decision an easy one. A good quality room is half, concessions are significantly cheaper and it cost $0.00 to park and from what I've seen of the video the racing was somewhat superior at Du Quoin but, admittedly, that is in the eye of the beholder. It's not necessary to attend 40 to 50 racing events of any kind to figure all that out. If we decide to attend we certainly hope the product warrants the added expense but that's the chance one takes when attending a first time show, at least in reference to the midgets. As the old saying goes, you pay's your money, you take's your chances.
