I think the problem is pretty simple. It is the price of cars..midgets, sprints it doesn't matter. What is acceptable as an owner?
If you examine what it cost to have a competitive midget roller, engine, trailer, support equip, some help. Then as an owner you think well how does that compare with owning a new 410 sprint team. Do the math on that. What are the differences? Because you want to TRY to recoup as much as possible through competing, finding out the number of places you can race and the levels of pay out per level of competition.

Then you ask your self how bad you want to compete and win, and where do I have to travel to accomplish your goals, and what is the payback. Managing and aquiring a winning driver.

So concentrations of like minded people who choose the midget route are quite unique. They find the business proposal of all the above or the personal appreciation/desire to own or drive a midget "thier thing" and accept the financial responsibility and hopefully some reward.

It would be interesting to know how many independent midget owners are successful that aren't from owners that own Sprint/Midget/Silver Crown combinations.
