I’ll second your statement. Quality of cars and drivers are phenomenal! Majority of PowerI midget drivers I believe aren’t old enough to run USAC. We don’t need any back markers just to raise the car count. Hasn’t been a bad feature yet. Those folks wanting 50 cars are And this isn’t the Chili Bowl either.

Eat dirt, be happy
Let’s go Brandon!!

Back when I attended World 100s and Dreams, About 150 cars would show up.

I don't go now because there is only 60.................

I"ve been to three of the four (watched the Burg on Flo), We don"t need 60 cars for great racing. Every race has been exciteing and hard fought, in both the midgets and the sprints. If you"re staying home cuz of car counts then maybe you need to throw your racing T shirts away and start wearing sorccor stuff

I think most people can recall a really good race where all the cars got to run the feature.

In what world is 27-35 quality cars not a good field for a race? Talk about looking for flaws where there is none, this is it. At Tri-State the racing was fantastic, in both classes, minus possibly the sprint B. Personally, seeing the cream and not the whole crop makes it more compelling.

Best feature I've seen this year only sixteen cars showed and one couldn't race.

Still had a three car battle for the lead the last ten laps.

The less cars the better is what I always hear people say.

Give me 4 heats and a hooligan and I’m good. I have to say however I do prefer the larger car count. I suppose I got spoiled when a lot more quality teams travelled here for the week. Especially Sprint Week when a lot of west coast teams came out. Those really were the good ol days

I have a feeling we probably won’t see the 40+ midget car counts for Indiana Midget Week anymore. Between the costs of being competitive and the growing wing sprint ranks, it just doesn’t look good.
