it's unfortunate that this was scheduled last minute against Montpelier's Midget date. A lot of drivers on your list have full Midgets also (Briggs, Tilton, Heydenreich, etc... When the season started, they could run both series with no conflicts. Now they will have to choose one series or another last minute. Not sure how those racers or tracks win especially when Montpelier has been one of primary tracks and supporters of the Focus club the past few seasons. Both tracks will lose cars that could of supported the series.

Not sure what your motivation, or agenda is here, since I don't see a #11 in Montpelier results from the last race?

Either way, this was not "scheduled last minute" as Putnamville was added to the schedule July 1st.. Hardly "last minute". Especially when taking into consideration that we started talking with Put in mid-June.
We are not in the habit of conflicting with tracks that support us, but since we lost 4 races of a 16 race schedule to rain, we needed to find other dates to run a full series. As the year gets later, those dates get harder to get without a conflict. And with that I ask you, how many Sprint Car races were run this past Saturday night (while USAC Midgets & Silver Crown were in Kansas)?? It happens, and the world goes on.

To take it a step further, the only one in your attempted list of names that will have true conflict is Stratton Briggs. Johnny runs anywhere from Montpelier, to Focus, to Vermont, and Tilton has not run with us all year. So try again.

Now maybe this wasn't answered the way you like, but I get so tired of yet another nice positive thread, being thrown to the negative for really no reason..... Especially from a first time poster.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway wants no part of this discussion on a public thread. We always make our contacts privately through phone or email. Any concerns we have will be handled that way and ask that if you have concerns that you do the same.

This is a great opportunity for the Midget racing community and fans to support tracks locally. Hopefully, cars legal In either of these divisions get out to show their support and both tracks have good shows.

Craig, we attempted to contact you after seeing the post, but your mailbox is full.
