The only way anything is going to change is for the competitors to apply some kind of pressure to USAC, POWRi etc. That could be in the form of a boycott, organized type union, sponsors, fans or other means. Apparently BMARA is making some changes for the better. I'll be interested to see what takes place with that group.

What really needs to happen is for everybody to sit down with a clean sheet of paper and build a new program from the ground up. Toss out all the monopoly nonsense, kickbacks, political allegiance etc etc and put together a midget program that is practical and logical for all... NOT JUST FOR THE MULTI MILLIONAIRE owners. Cut the price of tires in half. If American Racer can sell midget tires for around $80, then the purple tire company can do the same. The majority of car owners are being ripped off big time with this scam.

There also needs to be random engine checks at all midget races. If the orgs are not going to check engines and enforce the rules, you might as well throw the rule book out and have a free for all. I haven't heard of a midget engine being checked in years. When the cats away, the mice will play.
