Time to reminisce
 

On this date, Dec. 6, in 1980, the first midget race was run in the Pontiac Silverdome. It was an invitational race, and was called Heroes vs. Outlaws. It paid a $50,000 purse. Steve and Kelly Kinser were among the participants. Gene Gennetten won the feature.

And I was there

I don’t know exactly, but it was a decent size crowd
