Awesome! Great action without the "benefit" of four wheel steering. Thanks for posting.

Went to one of the shows last year. Awesome three and sometimes four car battle for the lead that went right down to the wire. If you havn't seen them, make plans. Can't understand why, throughout the decades, Midget racing never caught on around here.

The ARDC Series always puts on a great show. I agree 100 percent on I dont know why it hasnt caught on. Also I am suprised that with the success of what MRP and PPMS has with the shows other promoters havent tried to have a ARDC show.

Blankethill would be the perfect track if the right person would get behind it.

I doubt it would ever happen, but Marion Center would be a great place for midgets.

I think itd be way too small for a good midget show. It would be follow the leader or punt him out of the way. I think deerfield would promote more side by side action.

I always thought the same until ARDC was interested in running at Goodhope, only issue was their catch fence. Deerfield would definitely put on some good midget racing though. To bad POWRI doesn't come out this way!

I have always thought wingless racing in general was 10x the show a winged race was. Id much rather watch a USAC non wing race over a WoO winged race any day. The non wing cars provide far superior racing.
