1) i too think midgets are way to fast. but i'm not for sealed engines. i would like to see all motors cut their cu. in. by 15 to 20 percent. make the motors small enough so you could use production base part. if you wanted. this could really cut cost. 2) pay less money to win (top 3 or 4) and more money for places 12 thru 22. i feel most top teams the prize money means very little anyways. the owners in places 12-22 it means a lot. (for us small teams) i can't understand how people thinks it's o.k. for owners to leave 1, 2 or 3 hundred dollars at the race track every time we show up. harder tires could help. let people spend money if they want to, (on new tires) but don't let it be a handicap to the people who don't want to spend money.
times have changed. more place to spend your entertainment dollars. more family's spend time doing things as a family, not dads and sons. or just dads going out by them self's any more. work times have changed. my blue collar friends use to start work at 7 or 8 a.m. now most start at 5 to 6 a.m. hard to stay out late when to start work at 5 a.m. would it really be that bad if the races were over at 8:30 or 9 p.m.? so you could get home early if you wanted. or stay and hang out and visit in the pits for an hour or so.
