There is a cheap midget tire already available that will last all year on dirt and pavement. The 13" American Racer dwarf/legend car tire that IRS midgets run. The only way for midget racers to come out ahead at the end of a night is if you don't have to buy ANY tires. My dad and I made money with our modified beacause we only had to buy two sets of tires for the year! Those tires would also be easier on engines and equal out the haves and have nots. It's good to hear there are cheaper engines available now and if you combined that with the tires I mentioned the sport would flourish again. Hell, I would probably get back into it if they did that. I'll bet many others would too. After Lasalle I fear the worst for Granite City but aren't they running non-wing sprints each night also? If so I'll still go.
