Thanks
It is hard to plan a schedule...
I plan on promoting 3 sets of Midget races in OHIO in 2015
I will lease the tracks... they will run the show...per " All Star Midget" rules etc..
Now... here is why a full schedule and Tracks cannot be announced till LATE SPRING !
I have to wait till EVERYONE else.. Sprints Late Models and a 100 other classes schedule
their race dates...
THEN... I have to go thru all of these schedules and pick a WEEK with no competition...
My OHIO MIDGET SPEEDWEEKS will be "tentative' the 2nd week of each Month
June July August..
Tues Wed Thurs.....
Once a month for 9 shows...
Im tired of Midgets playing 2nd class to other classes and setting for HOURS waiting to run a Midget A Main
My shows are MIDGETS ONLY....Start at 8 pm each nite and DONE by 9:30....!!
I have promoted Midgets for over 40 years... in 9 different states and over 30 Midget Shows...
Never had a failed or canceled show.. cept for 2 rain outs..
FRONT GATE ALWAYS... paid the purse !!!
You notice I promote "SHOWS" not races .. per sey....everything based on whats good for the 'GRANDSTAND"
More info at the Chilibowl in 2015....
Here is a "short list" of drivers who have participated in my shows..
RICH VOGLER
TOM BIGELOW

This is just a SHORT LIST of top drivers....
over 150 different drivers have participated in the
last 40 ?? years... geez time goes fast...
At this time ...this is all I can only tell you.. if all works out...
Plan on 2nd week of each month Tues Wed Thurs.....
June July August 2015
NOTHING.. will be in stone till April...
and THAT .. is why most schedules cannot be done earlier...
I will ONLY promote my Midget Shows. with NO competition from
any other show in my area...
That way the TOP DRIVERS can make the shows...
Class A Midgets.... ie push start...USAC ARDC style Chili Bowl cars
Class B Midgets... ie.. self starting.. Chain drive Midgets...Ford focus.. etc
will run SEPARATE A Mains..
Class A payoff....
Top 24 fastest cars make the show...
4 car dash,,$500 to win...! 4 fastest qualifiers
4 heats...6 cars......top 2 go to A main
Austrailian pursuit....$500 to win....!! 8 fastest qualifiers...
B main.. 16 cars... top 8 make A main...
Consolation race.. all cars not making the top 24....
Winner of consolation race...$200
all other non qualifiers .. $150...
A Main... 16 cars... $1000 to win...$500 at 10th $300 to start...
$2000 possible to win.....
CLASS B cars..............draw pills....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and run ALL CARS in ONE 15 lap A Main....
$500 $400 $300 $200 $100 to LAST CAR IN A Main......
Purse payouts in BOTH Mains fixed.. regardless of car count...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drivers must be 16 years old with ID....with proven ability...
My shows are not for "beginners"
Since I will be leasing the tracks.. paying all the expenses.. and Guaranteeing the purse...
I will run the shows as I feel a MIDGET SHOW should be run..
All of my shows have had STANDING ROOM ONLY... ask Heydenreich....
Any way... long story to let you know why "Schedules' cannot be made earlier .. at least for Midgets...
