I always appreciate the great and thoughtful advice on Indian Open Wheel, Mr. Jones. Thanks a bunch. Apparently the majority of midget owners in the United States have taken your wisdom and have parked their cars except for the January race in Oklahoma.

I would say that the purses are staying the same because everything else is going up .... and that we are not seeing new or additional revenue being generated from a growing fan base.

I don't think anyone is saying that the track owners are "rich". Some have done very well in years past but their costs today are certainly being squeezed.

"If you don't like it then park your midget ..." Wow, now there's a solution ! You've obviously never owned a race car !
