Terre haute. Perfect track and facilities. My only question is why would you run it anywhere else?

I saw MDC go from last to first at Haubstadt last year. Saw Brady Short do it at Bloomington Last year. I saw both of these. It can be done at numerous tracks in Indiana.
Bloomington has enough seating. So does Haubstadt. That, Lawrenceburg, Kokomo, a lot of tracks do. I was at Stafford Springs Connecticut the night Bobby Santos did win $50,000, going from last to first. He also won the NEMA midget race too. It was an incredible night. |

Here`s how you do it. Start 20 cars . Before the feature get all the drivers who made the show to put their name in a hat. The guy whose name gets drawn is the designated start from the tail rabbit. Start him on the tail with the understanding that when you see the rabbit , don`t make it obvious , but let him go. Then when he wins give him 10,000 and split the other 40,000 19 ways . With the normal purse and an extra 2100 bucks a spot thru the field, it would be a good paying night for all the racers.

Track I would love to see it at is Terre Haute. I''ve only seen about six or seven shows there but theres always someone coming from deep in the field to top three our four and I remember two years ago, Levi winning from 17th.

Was at IRP in 2002 where Dave Steele won the Twin 25's midget race. The winner of the first 25-lap feature (Steele) had to start at the tail of the second 25-lap feature. He passed 24 cars to take home $50,000 grand.

I was there too and the 1st 6 or 7 laps of the 2nd race ranks right up there as the best racing I have ever seen.
