I loved watching the midgets run the high banks and briefly entertained the idea of going to this show. I know I would have been very disappointed to burn three vacation days for the Belleville Low Banks.

I always had a slimmer of hope that the midgets would go back to the High Banks, but I guess that dream is gone.
It appears after watching this video the drivers were not informed of the decision to race on the small track.
