Limaland might, I doubt Waynesfield though, I may be wrong. I heard Waynesfield wants to stick with the D2 series for midgets. Only reason I was told Limaland wanted anything to do with midgets is the Mike Streicher Memorial race with D2's.
If done right which I don't know if they'd all agree, is partner with the USAC D2 series, Midwest Thunder Midgets.
Get really good payout. 2 Day show Friday Lima, Saturday Waynesfield. Tracks are only 25 miles apart with Lima, being the middle with lots of hotels. Then bring BMRA, ARDC and MTM and bring 60+ cars. The last MTM D2 race they had at Waynesfield in October 2019 on a 30 degree night there was 28-30 cars.
I am glad that ARDC is working on their costs, but this talk of a co-sanction show makes no sense. Badger is not a national series. ARDC is not a national series. They are both regional series that should work to make racing in their region stronger. The idea to tow 8 hours away for a weekend series does not make any sense. If you are going to be cost conscious be cost conscious. However, when you decide you want to take your $150,000 tow rig 8 hours away, you have lost the argument about being cost conscious.

I agree. My comments were meant jokingly. We don't need to be traveling 8 hours, or even 5 hours, and neither do they. We have plenty of opportunities to race within 4 hours of Sun Prairie, in keeping with the scheduling strategy of the Club.
