It's pretty easy to pick on ol' Don here, because he clearly states his opinion on the Chili Bowl. But I'm thinkin' he's probably one of the only owners in the Midget business to come close to making money/breaking even this season.
Hell, I was hoping he'd run the Bowl....I like his dogs...:rolling:

to the biggest payin midget race in the whole wide world!!!

Belleville is the biggest paying midget race out of all the Midget races.

Seven wins and a couple of seconds and thirds in the last 15 months on a very, very limited schedule. Thanks to all my incredibly talented drivers, especially to the one and only Jerry Coons Jr. (six wins) who is, by far, one of the best and greatest midget drivers in the history of auto racing. He needs to be in the Hall of Fame now for sure. Also thanks go to my mechanic, Bill Klein, North Olmsted, Ohio, and his impeccable work in overseeing and engineering the necessary changes to the Sesco Mopar/Stealth that help keep it upfront with only one mechanical failure in the last year. Thanks also to Scott and Bill Baue of Leaders Edge in Indianapolis for their advice, direction and service. I highly recommend them for all your racing needs. Also to Ron Hoettels of SESCO engines who builds one of the most under rated power plants in midget racing. It was a great year!

NOTE: The Brayton/Gaerte Ford engine is the holder of the world's fastest lap (PPIR) ever turned in a midget.

I never picked on ol Don. If you have good enough reasons not to warrent running the race. Thats fine by me.

What I don't get is all the complaining over it. It's the only game in town unless your off to the outback. Wonder what that cost?

WHAT IS A CLOUD NINE?:emote20:

Plenty of midget racing this winter indoors. Fort Wayne Dec.28-29 and DuQuoin State Fair Southern Illinois Center on the dirt. Legal midget racing (no 700 lb baby buggy type cars with illegal engines allowed) sanctioned by POWRi, a great org, on Jan. 19, Feb. 16 and March 29th. All these races pay better than the Silly Bowl.

Don, I hope you choose to come out here to Phoenix for the Copper on Dirt instead of the Feb 16th race you mentioned.

I totally agree about your view of Jerry Coons. I was at the Western World earlier this month, and watching the video replays on Dean Mills' site didn't even come close to showing Jerry's talents and abilities.

Words can't describe how good Jerry Coons Jr. is. He knows how to win by making great split second decisions when he is racing. :checkered:

You've seen him more than I. HOwever I've observed him racing the way Wolfgang and greats raced and thats by doing things different. Keeping yourself out of trouble and finding the spot to move forward.

Every racer has to make split second decisions. It's part of the game. The ones that win make smart ones

No argument from me on the Coondog's abilities!
Chuck, saying he's not bad with a wrench either and knowing how he likes the car to his style.
