The Future Of Midget Racing

Don Moore may be right ... there may not be a future other than the continued contraction like that being seen in the current financial crisis. Maybe , just maybe , there is no fix. Some things are too far gone. It may have to be totally reinvented on another day.

Another thread here asks what can be done to bring new fans to the sport. It receives the usual thoughts posted time and again. There probably isn't any thing that will correct that problem either. I'm not seeing solutions to these problems.

When the unemployment rate now nearing 8% reaches 10% , we will have the same number out of work as were during the Great Depression when 1 in every 4 were jobless and at a rate of 25%. We will be there soon .. probably just after this '09 racing season gets in full swing. The outlook for all forms of motor racing is not good.

The story of 2009 has just begun. The face of our sport will be unrecognizable by year's end. Much of what we know today in every industry will not survive !
