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. |
The WOO, ASCS, Lucas Oil Late Models, USAC Sprints, and almost all national touring series only have up to a dozen teams who run the entire series. Why then do they have 30 to 50 cars a show? They have local tracks running 360s, 410s, late models, etc. Midgets dont have this and that is why I agree with Jonr.
If you compare the midget teams that run a full series schedule and compare that to the other series full series teams you will see midgets hold there own in car count.
