Did you watch anything other than the leader? Unzicker, Simpson, Feger, and others ran side by side for the lead for many laps. Eventually Sheppy ran away but the racing was still great, just didn't come down to a last lap pass like previous PDC's. The mods were exceptional, and the atmosphere was like no other. Hope to make it an annual trip.

Probably not. Traditionally the midgets are at Gas City on the Wednesday night of Indiana Midget Week. If that holds true there will be little affect except for those few who are closer to Fairbury who generally would go to GC but want to see Schatz, Pittman, Sweet, Gravel and the rest of the boys at FALS. Luckily there isn't much driver crossover between the WoO Sprints and the USAC National Midgets. Darren Pittman is about the only WoO regular who races midgets and that's usually only at the Leffler Memorial, the Du Quoin indoor show and The Chili Bowl. Joey Saldana races the little cars once in a while but he isn't a WoO regular anymore.Originally posted by VchildDon't see either track suffering.

I don't think so either. I'd be willing to wager heavily that it's more a case of both parties (WoO's & FALS) wanting to get together but both having extremely limited scheduling options, thus the Wednesday night show. Due to fan logistics and the virtually nonexistent driver cross over appeal the coexistence is minimally detrimental to either venue. Indiana Midget Week is a big deal to wingless fandom and the conflict would be much more pronounced if the FALS event was POWRi National Midgets/WAR 410 sprint cars. Also, if Indiana Midget Week was running at say Lincoln Park Speedway the conflict would probably be more evident.Originally posted by ptown View PostIs this the World of Outlaws trying to stick it to USAC?
