Wow.. I just fell over with the spins. And the Dr. Phil's of the racing world ultimately showed up on here off topic as usual. Guys, how many times are you going to keep going off topic with the same stupid idiotic nonsense. Is somebody making you read my posts? My identity is clearly stated along with the topic on the general topic page. Start ur own thread if you don't like it or better yet, post something itelligent on the subject for a change.

You can spin it anyway you choose, but there were tons of dirt short track midget races in Indiana and Ohio back in 2002 when I first got into this sport as an owner. It's been a downhill slide since then to four (4) sanctioned dirt midget races ( all sanctions) in Ohio and Indiana. You people still aren't getting it. Everybody in the United States follows the same rules with a few exceptions and I'm not going to get into that again. Do your research and you'll see that I am correct. Doesn't matter if it's (or was) USAC, NAMARS, XTRA or whatever, there are just four (4) dirt short track midget races left in two states. Statistics don't lie. This is about COSTS. Throw USAC out of the equation if that will make you happy, but it doesn't matter if you're racing USAC, BMARA or POWRi.. they are all in bed with each other with the rules and the tire monopoly and none of them have made one attempt to cut the costs of racing or have disclosed who's paying who to keep the costs up. You people refuse to recognize that. There has been a steady downhill slide in the car count at Sun Prairie.. 50% from 1998 to 2008. Duh? And that is a place where you really can't get any better with traditional and wonderful dedicated fans.

Again, you guys can spin it anyway you want, but if you get the costs down, you're gonna see more teams get into the sport, more cars at the track, more fans that come out to watch, more happy promoters and the sport will grow. This is so simple it's rediculous. With nearly 5,000 hits on this topic, looks to me like you guys that keep defending the big bucks are out numbered big time.
