The cars cost the same, Probably more for midget in some cases as spares and parts aren't available everywhere.
Not a attack, a question?

Maybe local guys didn't think they could compete?
I thought purse was supposed to be bigger than usual last nite ("Grand Prix")... am I wrong?
Adult general admission ticket prices were $20 for both nights this weekend at Kokomo.
Kokomo Grand Prix paid $4,000 to win both nights this year. It had always paid $3,000 to win in the past, since 2014.
