They need USAC to add credibility to a $15,000 to win midget race? I have had the opportunity to speak to one or two drivers over the last couple of months about this race and I guarantee you the first question they ask is not "Is it USAC sanctioned?" Ask someone at Anderson Speedway how much that helps (and that is not a slam on the 400. I really enjoyed it and will be back next year).
As to the statement about dirtywhiteboy, all I know is that a USAC employee told me a few weeks ago that they were tentatively planning to have an event at ORP on the second week of October. I don't know what exactly dirtywhiteboy said somewhere else, but you might want to rethink that accusation. I was subsequently told that they had dropped that plan.
Just in case anyone is curious, I called the track and they are not selling reserved seats, which was a surprise to me. Everything is general admission. I think this may be bigger than they think, or perhaps I overestimate how well what could be a fantastic midget event can draw. Am I wrong, or won't people turn out for midgets?
