So this has maybe been covered, but are midgets AND mini sprints coming back this year? If so, that's a good ways' off and I'd like to try to find at least a mini sprint and/or midget to drive there. Thanks for any info.

Tim...I have no motives..I really cringed when I saw Don's post...and I knew it invited people shooting back...I have NEVER, EVER torn down another promoters event..The KC show is no competition..There are more than enough good drivers to go around...We run pavement cars...no problem. We had Bryan Clauson racing 600s with us before he made it... We have a few more hot shoes on the way up.

My posts have been positive...whats to argue with? Where have I been negative? Tell me what my motives are? The only reason I am posting here is..people were taking shots at Fort Wayne.

It looks like you have a lot of interest in RENT-A RIDES....I am just interested...as the public is..How much is a rental?...Crash deposit?....That way we can pass the word along. Let us know.

You guys have to be the team to beat in KC...Good luck there...Let us know who you rent to...I will be rooting for them too...

Tony I apologise, I guess when you posted what you "Assumed" my motives where, My imagination ran wild assuming what yours might be when you Assumed what mine where ... or something like that .. .

But my sole purpose for posting in this thread was again standing up for the event and the gentlemen who are promoting the event. Again the second day last year was great racing once they (smoke) figured out the track, and they are paying a fantastic purse just like they did last year and at US36 Speedway a few weeks ago. I wonder what would happen if we all who are involved in midget racing took a more active and positive role as it pertains to promoting our sport.

I have been to both midget races Scott promoted . Scott got schooled at arena race . I'm sured it going to be much better this year. He is willing to put out the bucks for a quality field of drivers and cars . I will return there in Dec .
I would like to attend the Rumble also.I promoted a midget race in 1986 . I will always respect any person who does the same.Everyone needs walk in thie shoes a day befor blasting away.

Tim,

I agree that we need to work to lift midget racing....we all need to be at least on the same page,,,if not working together. In fact...we all need to do the same in all of American life..Let's build it up...not tear it down..

I have learned one thing in this business...Do not hold grudges...because you will be suprised...I have friends today...that were my enemy in the past..

Remember FANS...as Bryan has proved...YOU NEED DIRT AND PAVEMENT!

Another reason for posting..the lack of interest in pavement racing..is ALARMING...and if it does not improve, CLASSIC races will be gone. This is an area where we ALL need to work together.

Tim...How did the US 36 event turn out...? Was it well attended?...How did they promote it media wise?
