You want to make a bull$hit comparison like that then we'll compare the PDC to The Chili Bowl. Chili Bowl is widely considered one of the two biggest dirt track events of the year, draws 11,000+ people for 5 straight nights, gets 340+ cars and is broadcast live on national TV. Winning that event has the potential to dramatically advance the career of the winner. That has been the case several times. Whereas the PDC will draw about 1/4 the cars that The Chili Bowl draws and although they may fill the place up it's only 2 nights and if they're lucky they might have half as many people on Saturday night as The Chili Bowl draws on Tuesday night. PDC has never been broadcast on network TV and to my knowledge has never advanced the winners career beyond the dirt late model ranks and the winning purse. And just for the record the winners share of The Chili Bowl purse is right around half of what the PDC pays to win. It's the prestige and exposure that makes CB so desirable to win.How's that for a bull$hit comparison? And that's what it is, a bull$hit comparison just like the one you make of the PDC and the POWRi show.I was amazed at how everyone was congregated in the backstretch grandstands. We generally set on the front stretch but since we were camped on the backstretch we sat back there.Please show where I said there would be 35 midgets at Fairbury.However, there were 35 midgets at Macon in June and that's a fact. We were there.
