Here's my take on the Midget Week portion of this thread:
I agree that Lawrenceburg and Terre Haute should not be in the Midget Week schedule. Too hard on equipment. Haubstadt would be the perfect replacement. Montpelier would be a good track but I hear that the management and promotion is unstable.
The Hut Hundred needs to stay at Haubstadt, but not be included in Midget Week.
Five nights of racing is plenty for midget teams. Most of us don't have the budget for personnel and travel expenses to do more, plus we don't have the depth of spare parts. Even those of us who penny pinch can spend $3 to $4K to do Midget Week and while I'm not complaining about spending the money, it does take a while to "save up" to be able to go race again.
I like the idea of starting on Wednesday and racing through Sunday so you just have to take a week off work.
