I appreciate all your efforts Wayne. 20 cars or 50 cars the people that are here are loving it and it's been some good racing thus far. don't let anyone bring you down as you've done a damn good job promoting this race and put on a great show last night.

Spin it how you wish, it doesn't change the facts that you oversold it. What ive done, or can/cannot do, is irrelevant.
If i loaded up the camper to leave a week early before the usac show, just to go see a really big 50 car midget show, i would be pretty pissed off!
Never questioned your effort, never questioned your intent, never questioned your promoting skills. Didn't want to get in a pissing match either.
All that aside, when you have a paid pre-entry, WITH a deadline, you already have a general idea what the car count is going to be. Yet, according to you, you went off a bunch of verbals?? For someone who claims to be at this his whole life, you advertise verbal commitments as entered?
Maybe i should have waited until after saturday to bring this up? But it was obvious what was going to happen.
I have wished you sucess from the begining, and wish the best for this event in the future.
Just please be more straight up about things, and you'll be the hero you want to be!

You guys need to ease up on ol Wayne. There were several cars that backed out that said they were going. We originally were taking 4 cars, but sold 1 and the other needed a motor
Shane Morgan was going to bring 2 cars
Matt Schuck had to cancel
Several cars from KC backed out last min.
I think the show was sold just right.
Craig you of all people know the struggles.

I know. I know. Don't speak your mind. Don't cause a scene. Don't stir the pot. Never call a spade a spade. Remain PC.
I dont know how many different ways i gotta say it: I AM SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT WAYNE HAS DONE! Is that clear enough?
I am not supportive of disapointing fans (current ones or new ones), with something that was obvious for a while now, but still sold as such.
Midget racing as a whole does not need anyone disapointed. As mentioned, i have no problem with 21 cars, but some guy who spent $ to come down there early for this first of its kind event with 50 cars. Well, that guy might have a problem with the advertising.
Or the guy who was thrilled about the live Online PPV announcement, before it was even checked if a broadcast was feasible from that location?
You can go on and on about who called in sick, as even those #'s dont even reach 40. An entry is not an entry until the $ is in hand, and there is nothing uncommon about that!
All im asking is that next year, get a few more P's and Q's in order.
Midget racing needs this, and we should all do things as right as possible to help it grow.
