This race sucked and is on the verge of being dead. Watching Pro Mazda drone around for 75 laps, then USF 2000 cars drone around for 90 laps wasn't very exciting. Once again, USAC has apparently screwed the pooch. They claim 11 cars made the midget field. Only 10 started the feature with no heat races since there were so few cars. A lady sitting behind me looked like a "regular" so I asked her if she knew anything about the low car count. Turns out, she is Kody Swanson's mom (Kody, winner of Hoosier 100) She told me USAC has combined the dirt and asphalt points so it's not worth it for many teams to show up with the added tire expense, among others, at an asphalt track. Looks like we will travel to Anderson next year for the "Little 500". The bad thing, the midgets had more exciting racing in their first 10 laps than the other two series had all night. Hines ran away from everybody after there was only about 5 cars left running at half way of a 50 lap race, The stands pretty much emptied with 20 laps to go....I've never seen anything like that there...what a disappointment.
