It really was a great event, and I hate to see it go. Those years when it was cosanctioned, there were cars galore, campers from all over the country, and some damn good racing. It really felt like a big deal. I'll miss it. I hate to think that midgets won't race on anything larger than a quarter mile anymore. Granite City is a great midget track. It's a loss for the fans.
My plan is to make the 360 mile trip from Middletown Ohio to Bellville for both nights. I could stick around closer to home but in my opinion nothing beats midgets on the 1/5 mile.
