NEXT USAC WESTERN MIDGET RACE: July 7 – Madera (CA) Speedway

 Well, as much as I HATE to admit it, this was the over/under line I predicted (14). In looking at car counts in other series, it looks like open wheel racing in general is having a real tough time right now.

USAC however, has the BIGGEST drops in car counts than ANY series operating. Their counts across several of their divisions are sharply down. Coiencidence????

Not that it makes anything better but I was right with 15. Rick Hendrix was there but lost a u-joint and broke the drive shaft so doesn't show a time.

I was there it was a good race other that the door bangers rutting up the track.
