With 33 making the feature, this race offers the opportunity for most, if not all who show up to go home with a check.

Wouldn't the rule difference now between the series' require the POWRI guys to put a rev limit on their motors? I don't know how it works but it's definatly something they'd have to do. Would those guys want to go do that just for one race? Because as of now there are no other co-sanctioned races between USAC and POWRI. I know USAC had over 35 cars out at Dodge City, but it looked like they picked up a lot of cars from out in that region. I can't see all of them coming over here for one midget race.

I was just doing a little homework and realized that this race has managed to survive 58 years without POWRi. Somehow, I bet everything's gonna be ok for Tri-State Speedway and all the fans. I had never heard of POWRi until a week ago. They are quite the marketing force, but they are not USAC.

Pole day at Indy is allot better now. There are cars on the track all the time. With only 2 days to qualify you got to be on your game. Day one 24 cars make the field and are locked in. Day 2 the last 9 cars and then bumping starts. You want to make the first day to get into the field of 33. So right now it's Indy unless they work something out and we know for sure a good field of midgets will show up. If not there is always Midget Week!

Why are you guys abusing people because their choice of races dont live up to your expectations? At least they are going SOMEWHERE! In some cases to more than one. You have 3 sprint car races and the Hut running that night, I hope they all do well.

Saturday May 21st is one of those great days that the fans can pick any number of racing events. I personally hope that where ever you decide to go, that you enjoy the program.

Your choices include: Pole Day at IMS, regular shows including sprint cars at Waynesfield, Putnamville, Paragon. KISS at Lawrenceburg and HOSS at Angola. Also UMRA midgets at Montpelier and the Hut Hundred at Tri State.

I think 14 cars showed up at Kokomo one Sunday late last season and it ended up being one of the best races of the year, plus I was back to Indy before dark.

Your right rclaridge I do remember that race very well and don't really care how many cars were there. I hope everyone gets to see the race they want to go see and I hope they are ones to remember. I'll be at the hut 100.
