How much are you talking about? And how much of a membership fee are you willing to pay?

Chuck, who'd love to see Midgets on Dirt more than one week a year in Indiana. I know there are a few but its not even close to the 60s, 70s and even early 80s to the number of shows midgets put on here

There's a 3/4 midget series that travels around Central Indiana weekly.

Saw some big stars cut their teeth there. But the fans did not come. What a shame.

That is a shame. I love that place. I wish I had the $5 million it would take to get it back.

All I saw was your typical race promotion, and it needed to be different considering the location.
What type of entertainment would you like to see?

Kokomo Speedway may be part of the city next year with the annexation taking place. I don't know if it will be a good thing or not. Or if it will effect it in any way. Maybe this should be started on another thread. But thought some would like to know.

My guess is the 16 wheeler (yes DM-10 has a problem with math) get better gas milage than a pick-up and trailer?

I really feel sorry for people that are so unhappy with the life they have that they only find joy in being miserable!

What i really find hilarious is that Kevin Miller has found a way to travel around the country in style at no cost, yet DM-10 hauls around his small one and pays the bill. Life always seems to work in the favor of those that are smarter and work harder!!
Spot on.

There maybe no man, more miserable than Don Moore, in the sport of Midget auto racing.

If I can be "off topic" and it would make you happy, I'll hunt down that pic of the copier and collect the reward. Peace! Go sell something.
