We race minisprints (1000cc non wing) with midgets on a flat 1/4 mile all the time. Not enough midgets to fill a field, so the track allowed 1000 cc minisprints to run with them. Only problem- most of the features are won by the minisprints. So, they added a rule that makes the minisprints unable to shift gears once on the track. Minisprints still win quite often. When the track is heavy , the midgets win., When the track is slick, the mini sprints win. But......nobody has any high $$$ motors and all have a good time racing . When a high $$ midget comes, they have to start at the back of the feature. Funny thing is the fans don't care- they just want to see 20 cars racing. Midgets are the coolest race cars their is, but MOST middle class guys like me cannot afford the high $$$ motors and constant rebuilds. Thats why mini sprints are gaining popularity. No $9K rebuilds. Blow up a motor and $2000 buys another. With EFI on them, they rarely blow up. Just my thoughts.......and didnt midget racing start on small tracks?
