The promoter from Jacksonville makes some excellent points. I would like to add one more secondary issue here and that is car counts. We don't seem to be debating about conflicting sprint car events, or at least I haven't read much about them on IOW. And the reason is that there's a sprint car on every street corner in Indiana and surrounding states. Plenty to go around.
Now, if the sanctioning bodies would ever get their head out of the sand from 40-50 years ago as to engines and push truck technology, there would be plenty of midgets to go around and you people wouldn't be discussing conflicting events. Continuing to race $30,000-40,000 engines when there are OEM plants/Asian powerplants at a fraction of the cost, is just totally crazy. As long as the high dollars are needed to race a midget, don't look for things to change anytime soon.
