Unfortunately pavement midgets will have a hard time time being a stand alone show.
It doesn't help that today's generation would rather play on their phone then get their hands dirty in the garage.
Getting youth involved in our sport is extremely important for its survival.
Seems like the big wheel races for the kids in the stands always are a hit.
Having teams stay afterwards so the kids can see, touch, and sit in the cars helps keep interest in open wheel racing.
It's exactly why I stayed at the track till 1am Sunday night.
I believe I had the only midget in the pits for the kids to see after the races, true a majority of them were there for the taxi cabs, but I had about 15 kids get to sit in and take pictures in an open wheel car.
