Could it happen on the day/night before a qualifying night?
What say the IoW forum users on this one? I know he would have to forgo the LM event he is currently entered in that weekend... (PS, I am a BIG Larson fan and I support whatever he decides in any manner...If I had my choice I'd prefer he starts running some rear engine stuff to get ready for an Indy 500 run, but I do not see that happening; so TNGP, Knoxville, & Tulsa are about as good as it gets otherwise...)

Unless I am forgetting something (Which definitely could be the case.), I do not think there are any rear engine racing series out there. If so, what am I missing? |

He is already entered in a big late model race that week and that was his plan the entire time even before his Chili Bowl rant

Since he was on the race poster, I would imagine that Vado is giving him some appearance money. I don't think there is any chance that he is at the Chili Bowl. Kyle never said that he was giving up midget racing. He just said he was giving up the Chili Bowl for a while.

Indy Lights (now known as Indy NXT), USF Pro 2000, USF 2000, USF Juniors (sanctioned by USAC), FIA FR Americas (American Formula 3), FIA Formula 4 (America), SCCA F1600, SCCA F2000, Skip Barber Formula Race Series.... and I'm sure I missed a few. I long for the day when we see a few of our dirt track open wheel heroes dip their toes in to these waters, for then we may have real hope of seeing them compete in the Indianapolis 500. Instead, these days, we see people like CBell who simply say, "IndyCar teams don't want us (USAC guys)."; and to that, I say, "What have you done to show them that they should want you?". There's not a need for someone like CBell to run a whole series, but jump in one of these cars a couple times- if you're a serious talent, then you should run right at the front. We used to see this some, not all that long ago. Kasey Kahne ran some of these before settling on NASCAR. Chad Boat and Davey Hamilton Jr. dabbled a bit chasing their father's footsteps. Chris Windom had a couple of cups of coffee, as did Jay Drake and a few others. Today, there's almost no one doing anything like this, except Brent Crews, who although he hasn't competitively raced a formula car yet, he has raced, and won, in the TransAm series. [Sorry for the long post and potential highjacking of this thread, but the question posed hits a nerve for me.] |

I will admit a couple of these other series I did not even know they existed. Thanks |

You think the Chili Bowl would allow him to enter a car and just let it sit in case Vado rains out or something? Considering there's a good chance he'd qualify straight to the A and then not come back for Saturday.
I wouldn't if I was the event promoter. It's a slap in the face to all the guys who are committed to running the Chili Bowl. |

There is an incentive to race there. If you win 4 of 6 races, it's a $25,000 bonus. If you win 5 of 6 races, it's a $100,000 bonus. If you can win all 6 it pays an extra $300,000 bonus.
