...and Kenny Wallace wins the Mod A main, and over some pretty fair full time Mod guys. Home town advantage???

Congrats to Kenny. I was just about to ask who won the mod feature.

We brought the Badger midgets into our finales at Capital in '83.... Big, fast paved 1/2 mile. Kinda took over the excitement part if the show... 4-6 lead changes per lap. Pretty amazing...

Midgets are a good addition to the dome show. Expand the ppv audience and increase gate revenue. It’s also easier to budget the purse expense with open wheelers, it doesn’t require as big a payout typically. Who knows, open wheel cars “might” be the headline event in future years? In the St.Louis area who carries the biggest name value and identity with fans, Scott Bloomquist or Sammy Swindell, Christopher Bell or Johnathan Davenport?

Track size obviously better suited to midget racing. And it does bring in another fan base. Just thinking if you’re adding 50 midgets then eliminate 50 late models. Maybe have 48 in each division. Then run 6 or 8 heats in each.

Hey CIRF, so what it is? Drop jaw and start shoveling in all that crow lol...

I stated nothing that would warrant any crow consumption. After rereading my 3 posts from almost a year ago they are, in fact, pretty much spot on.

I've also said repeatedly that the midgets, with the big name drivers driving them, will be by far the best show of the weekend and so far that is indisputable. Not to mention the star power of several of the midget drivers. It appears that the promoter made a decision that should not only add some nationwide interest but profitability, as well. Hat's off and good for him!!

Got anything interesting or intelligent to say or will you persist in your quest of being a fool! LOL!!

Lol that folks is what mental illness looks like, totally delusional even when you got the receipts...you said they wouldnt come, I said they would, they came, now drop jaw...

I thought when it was announced, adding the midgets was a great idea, for obvious reasons. After watching tonight, I think it's an even better idea. I'm not sure how anyone could be against it.

[TerryM]

If the midgets are given a well prepared racetrack to perform on they likely will steal the show. Of course that also depends on who's invited and what the rules/format will be, but given the right circumstances the midgets are more than capable of a remarkable show.

You were wrong about stealing the show, but right otherwise. I hope this event continues with these three classes. It's perfect.

[ImCryn2]

My opinion would be Late Models and Midgets, leave the restartifieds at home.

Just curious as to what class had the most cautions/restarts on average over the weekend? Seemed like they all had their fair share, but I think last night the modifieds may have ran the most consecutive green flag laps with 14-15.

[Highside Hustler25]

Mike Hamerlee or Kyle Larson?

Nope, never categorically said they wouldn't come. Went back and read all the posts from almost a year ago and it's obvious you're making things up and acting as if your fantasies are truth. What I said was there had to be more incentive than a $10,000 winners payout to get the really big guns there 'cause there hasn't been any event status established like the Chili Bowl and Turkey Night. Remember, this particular promoter wooed the likes of Larson and some others to race at the fiasco in Indianapolis a few years ago so he obviously holds significant sway with some of the upper echelon of midget racing and that sway translated into some of the big dogs showing up. Good for him. It was a much better show as a result of them being there in action.

Can't figure out if you're just a common fool or if your stupidity stands in the way of simple comprehension of the written word. Probably both! LOL!!

[Illtsate32]

You just talk out of both sides of your neck to hedge your bet if you're wrong.Can't stand a person who can't admit that they were just wrong..those kid of people are useless, no good...and your use of the all caps LOL after all your statements to reassure yourself proves it...
