I was at the Midget Nationals in Belleville, Kansas Saturday. Can anyone tell me why Rine didn't start the feature? Even if he broke, why didn't they unload the spare care?

Rine blew up after he won the heat. They unloaded the backup to run the b-main. Before they took the green his left rear went flat. He was not allowed to take a provisional because he did not start the b-main. I am by no means a Rine fan but feel he got screwed. The rules are very gray regarding back up cars. Whether you like Rine or not you want him to be in the race. On a side note the hammer down track was very hard on engines Saturday night. 2J, 61T, 41, 119B all lost engines and who knows if anyone else had motor trouble. The 27 also lost an engine the last race.

It's all a part of racing. Sometimes rules can bite you in the ass. Been there, been bitten, done that. Just a bad luck night for him I guess. As for the engines, everyone is going to lose one now and then.

Off the subject of Rine misfortune I noticed Bedford has changed their TSF's date, I just don't understand why track's choose to NOT work with one another. It just seems to be an ongoing problem. I think a track in Delaware has also added an extra race to compete with SEL. Port. and Winchester.

And I hope Bedford gets a horrible field of cars. |

The Bedford thing I agree does suck but it is what it is. But seriously are you going to be pissed at a track 5 hours away because they are having a race this weekend? That's just ridiculous. One car we were going to get. I agree tracks need to work together and I love Selinsgrove as much as the next guy but this martyr complex that the whole region has to stop because Selinsgrove has a big race is ridiclous.
