I agree completely with the four guys who have posted before me. The post by Ovalmeister was especially interesting.

Here's the biggest hole I can blow in your proposal. Unfortunately, there are very few in racing today who are willing to be the losers. The mentality is not the same as it was at the times you're noting. I just read in here that Don Moore thinks it's just fine and dandy that another midget group is scheduling against the Hut Hundred (a major midget race you say should have 70+ cars), but that NEVER would have happened in this past life.

These racers have to come from somewhere. Whether you like them or not, you need younger drivers to make these fields of cars, but these are the same kids who ran a BUNCH of different types of cars, which were split into a BUNCH of different classes. Every one of them was a winner. I've been reading resumes for the last four years, and nobody out there is a loser. Everybody found a class, or a series, or a track that could make them a winner. They weren't willing to be anything less. But in order for things to be bright and sunny the way you want them, there would have to be people willing to scratch and claw just to be competitive with the elite racers.

I also think a hierarchy of midget organizations is important to the success of all of them. No one is willing to do that, though. POWRi & UMARA both call themselves "National" midget groups. All groups snipes each other for dates, and obviously not even the biggest races of the year (and one in dire need of a good field and a great event) are immune to be being scheduled against.

As a young person who spends a lot of time around race car drivers and would like to be a car owner one day, I can tell you that there are a lot of options of race cars to run these days. And even in each of those types of racing, there are plenty of options of races to run. Unfortunately, midgets are just not high on the list of cars that people want to drive, and cost is only one reason. No matter how many changes you make, midgets will never be the most popular of those options again, if you ask me...
