I'm calculating that if ONE owner and one Driver waiver of pit passes and entry fees at $30 a pass is $1200 for 20 cars. Will a race track go out of business over $1200? IDK.
If the dirt and pavement championships are divided, running both series would be an option for the owner. Owners with deep pockets probably would run both, but remember that there would be 2 SEPARATE championships. Seems that we pretty much now have many owners who only run dirt and some who only run pavement. So I see this as a big plus. 2 possible champions instead of one. Let's face it, only the multi millionaire teams can afford to run both dirt and pavement and that's there choice.
IMO midgets are way too fast for their size and horsepower. Some will argue this, but to me speed has nothing to do with enjoying a good competition on the track. when I first started watching midgets race, they were not near as fast as today's cars but they were just as enjoyable to watch. As a fan, I really didn't care how fast they were going as long as the racing was competitive. You don't think about how fast cars are going, you think about how good the competition is or isn't.
My list is not the ultimate list. there are many other points to be made. but it might be interesting to go down the list and ask yourself as a fan just exactly how much impact that suggestion has or will have on your ability to have an enjoyable racing experience. If it's not an issue, then why is it allowed?
