Jay tells me there might be some push back about the cost of entry for Du Quoin. To this I replied to Jay, For some unknown reason race tracks with roofs over them seem to cost more to rent than those that do not have such amenities. It is nice to know that you won't drive 200 miles and get rained out. Maybe a Blizzard but not snow or rain out.
Last year I think we postponed twice>>> well ahead of the race dates for blizzards. This weekend looks great. Maybe we could move it next door to the "Magic Mile track"
With his permission we agreed to allow the stock block Midgets run with us also in hopes of a better car count. Promoters love car count to a degree. So hopefully the Mini Sprint Racers + the other Midget sized race cars should provide a car count and maybe help out the purse also. Mud if you have a Sidewinder bring it down they are on the card also.
This has been a great debate with very few threats of reprival the question is still in the air. What do we call a chain drive Motorcycle powered Midget framed race car. It is plain we share nothing with Sprint Cars and an awful lot with the Midget racer.
Why is Midget such a sacred name that it can not be divided into classes. We have 1/4 Midgets since changed to .25 Midget probably for PC reasons, they have many classes under this umbrella. We have 1/2 Midgets, I guess they are obsolete now, we have Micro Midgets they morphed into Jr. Sprints and now Mini Sprint each of these divisions having many sub divisions, we have 3/4 Midgets with variations all over the USA, we have Echo tec Midgets, Focus Midgets, and Kenyon Midgets. Then we have Mini Sprints who relinquished their name to the Micro Midgets racers and who performance wise probably have more in common with Midgets than any of the other classes named and they get stuck with a name like Lightning Sprint that has no resemblance what so ever to what they are. Talk about truth in advertising? and Politically Correct? How would you like to pay out your hard earned money to watch a Lightning Sprint Race and get to the race track only to find a bunch of Midgets.
So I would guess that QMA had some infighting and back biting going on and they left their back door open and USAC stepped right in. That brings about something called competition and should make things better.
These Jr. Sprints look like something very interesting to me, but I ran out of driver material and really can't afford any more.

I never said I was smart! Maybe I should apply with the Seahawks as an offensive coordinator : )
