1. They proved that a full midget can race on a Quarter Midget race track. The track looked to have had 30 foot Diameter on the turns and about 90foot strhaigts>>> that adds up to 1/20 th of a mile (using the ford push push truck to scale off of) . You could get almost a 1/10th mile on the very outside.

2. They must not have invented the fire marshal or epa yet back when they raced on coke syrup at the Dome.

3. the karts were just a little traction challenged and the good driver did well. The Midgets no doubt had good drivers and did much better than the karts, it took the karts 35 minutes to run a 30 minute race.

5. It is 5Am and I'm going to bed.
