I had a couple that are new to racing at the house for the race. Their main question last night was why all the delay with track prep? Even they knew it shouldn" t take as long as it did to rework the track as they had been to Haubstadt a couple of times. As they were getting ready to leave at 1 am. heard them say they liked the racing but they weren't sure if they would be going to a track after last night. It sure wasn't very impressive for new fans Yeleyfan you are a 100 per cent right!!!!!!

The Chili Bowl is taking a page from the Earl Baltes book on how to operate a successful race track.
If I could have sold one more hot dog I would have broke even. I got to watch racing almost all day long,from the comfort of my home while it was snowing outside my window, never stood in one line all day. Thank you Chili Bowl and MAV TV for a great race and Thank You Christoper Bell for a fantastic finish. I swear some folks would ***** if you hung them with new rope. |

I had a friend over last night to watch his first Midget race and Chili Bowl. He's an old CART fan. All he kept says was we've got to go next year we've got to go!!!

Yes, it was long, but there are 100s of hours of NASCAR programming on all year - which many complain about - so, I say enjoy the 4-5 hours of LIVE midget coverage ONE TIME A YEAR (I don't have Mav, so forgive me if there is another one - CB & Turkey Night would be about the only ones I could make "appointment TV"). I'm most thankful MAV stuck with it & didn't cut away b4 it was over!!!
I plowed snow the morning before, so I really had only slept for like 28 minutes in the 36hours before it came on, but I wasn't gona miss it (even if it was the least I have cared about it in years, just cuz...its still cool tho). My ony wish was they'd show the FULL prelim features (like a REAL alphabet highlight package or the features from the nights before - all in order instead of sporadically around the broadcast) - instead of some of the interviews (which, unless you are sitting at home - are hard to hear). But ya, if I had MAV, id'a recorded it & listened to everything again, while I was doing smthn else...or it would sit in the PILES of such recordings I struggle to get to...lol. I have like 4 Eldora truck races I intend to catch up on one day...lol

One of the reasons I don't go any more. My choice. To damn old for all the nonsense.

Why was Darland black flagged, we were there and did not see anything. He really showed his displeasure with the officials going around the track before he pulled off.
