From memory the first year the Gold Crown was a POWRi race,then the 2nd I think it was co sanctioned with USAC,then a USAC race from then on.
LOts of people were not happy with Little Belleville going against the Gold Crown. I even e-mailed POWRi asking if they could move their date,and in the same e-mail I inquired if they had ever thought of having a midget week.
Kenny Brown e-mailed me back and I later talked to him on the phone,and he told me why they couldnt move the date,etc etc. He was interested in a midget week,so we talked about that,and it happened the next year and every year since then.
Any long time readers here would know that I loved Little Belleville and made my racing schedule around when they raced midgets there. I was told by one member here that I wasnt a real race fan in choosing to go to Little Belleville instead of the Gold Crown. That night I went to Little Belleville,and was gonna head home,and then I thought I hadnt heard anything from Monica Clauson,so I went to Tri City and arrived just in time for the 4 wide parade lap. So I got to see 2 midget features that night,one of the many times over the years that I have done 2 races in one day.
Now the guy that said I wasnt a real fan,I saw running to the parking lot with about 4 to go apparently to beat the rush out of the parking lot on the way home........
