What if 400 Lap Midget Race @ Anderson
 

So its still the offseason and we need things to ponder. What pondered to me reading a couple threads and with the Chili Bowl near.

If Anderson had a "Tiny 400" Saturday night of the Brickyard weekend consisting of a 400 lap midget race starting 30 cars and paying $20,000 to win with a similar purse breakdown to Little 500 but a little less per each spot, would it work?

Live pit stops, minimum of 3 stops perhaps. Thoughts over a crazy left field idea?

They tried that in 2008. Wasn't a success.

I'm not sure if there are enough good pavement Midgets left to fill a 30 car field. I know there was a solid field at the Speedrome last year for the "Tony Stewart Classic," but you really need an actual pavement Midget for Anderson, not a Speedrome/indoors car.

Is this just "bench racing" or is the speedway seriously considering this?

Asphalt sprints need a division to run with, bring back the midgets!

Me, you and 25 other spectators were there that day. Midgets at Anderson are so cool! I was really bummed.

Great idea

How many of the "Tony Stewart Classic" cars from 2015 ran Ft Wayne this year, or with-in the last couple? Just wondering
