No more sprints at Punta Gorda?

The TQ's put on a good show. I saw them at Punta Gorda last winter. I think 9 cars showed and ran well but the need for a larger field was obvious. If they could put 20 on the track, 2 heats and a feature, I'd go everytime they were there. But with less than 10 cars, it may still be a lot of fun for the guys out there, but for the spectators, it's pretty weak.

Have there ever been any full-size midget clubs based in Florida? I know USAC has been at Orlando in recent years and they used to have open (winter)shows on a cinder track, in the Tampa area, but that was probably 30-40 years ago. I think that USAC started a Ford Focus group a few years back but I haven't heard much of them. In the East, NEMA in the northeast and ARDC on dirt in the mid-Atlantic area are the only clubs I know of.

I hope that some agreement can materialize between the promoters (especially Punta Gorda) and the sprint owners. They're one of the more entertaining classes.

We should have 12-13 TQ midgets this year!!!! It will be a great show. By the way, thanks for the great comments about the TQ's. I would also like to thank you for letting the tracks know that the FANS enjoy the sprint cars.
