I know there are a few but its not even close to the 60s, 70s and even early 80s to the number of shows midgets put on here

good point why isn't there any tracks doing a weekly midget series?

I would love to see some weekly dirt midget shows in indiana? Some track should get brave and just run dirt sprints and midgets on a weekly basis.:thumb

Sounds like a man that has the perfect resume for the job he is being asked to do.

That makes way too much sense, Pat.:rolleyes:

Let's just hope this new guy at USAC is passionate about racing.

[Dave Rudisell]

USAC is blessed to have hired James Spinks, I have dealt with James for 3 years now and his passion for the sport goes beyond words. He is very proffesional and is going to be a huge asset for USAC, KOIL 600 racing will miss him big time.
Good luck James and i look forward to working with you.

i guess you think usac should show up at the track in a 1980 mini motorhome with a 5'x10' enclosed trailer. would that make you happy don?? seems like their big rig really upsets you.

I have worked with James at the RCA Dome Indoor Midget event in 03, and at Columbus, Ohio on pavement twice. He brought a lot of cars, and was very progressive in promotion.

I noticed he was getting quite a bit of free PR in the Cincinnati newspapers.
I think he is the right man for the job.

Here is my new roadster "proposal" ready for Mr Spinks' consideration.:wink:usac:
