I think you are on to something.
We in the metropolitan St. Louis area have the good fortune of the POWRi series, which uses the micros as their secondary show on 1/4 and smaller tracks.
I think if you were to ask Kenny Brown, or Jim Siner the micros were probably a back gate cash generator when they were first added.
What has happened is it has turned into a feeder series for their midget division, on any night there are a number of graduates from the POWRi micro series in the midget division.
There are always a minimum of 30 midgets singed in as well as usually 40 plus micros signed in. It is a healthy sport in this area.
It also helps that the organization is run by 2 racers that get it.
No B.S. late starts or lineup B.S.
If you ever have a chance to go to little Belleville for a POWRi run show you will see midget racing the way it ought to be.
Hot laps start on time 6:00 P.M. and I do not believe I have ever left after 10:30, with most nights before 10:00
No I don't work for POWRi, just a HUGE midget fan that is glad someone has it right
