If the production engine midget class is the wave of the future, why are Focus and Ecotec midgets so short on cars all over the country? By your logic I would think teams would be scrambling to buy Ecotec and Focus engines, so they could afford to race all year.

The Sun Prairie USAC race had seven actual teams show up. So out of the hundreds of midgets in the United States and maybe thousands we are down to single digit numbers of teams that can afford to race the entire circuit. |
