First of all let me say this with all honesty - every American has the right to feedom of speech. And, when it comes to open wheel racing, I like many readers on this message board have seen America's best open wheelers battle it out on the nations racing grid irons.

Secondly, I recently read a comment by an IOW messageboard reader that kind of made me sit up and take notice, and send this post. I am not going to mention any names or say anything offensive, derogatory, or argumentative about the persons post. But, if it is at all possible, can the person who made the statement about "regional nobodies" at Belle Clair Speedway tell me from the partial list below of drivers, who he considers " regional nobodies," I would surely be enlightened by his knowledge and wisdom. And if there are any "regional nobodies" I have not listed below that you would like to include, feel free to do so.

Thirdly, what POWRi officials are you referring to as crooked? If you can answer this that is.

Fourth, the Hut 100 is by all means one of Americas pestigious midget races, and I do wish all drivers, racing teams and fans a good time.
