For example, they ran a 100 lap midget event on Labor Day in Columbus, Ohio while the champ cars were racing at the same time at DuQuoin. The midgets are odd man out.
I don't remember all of the details, but isn't that one of the things that caused USAC and Belleville nationals to split. Didn't USAC sanction the Silver Crown cars at Iowa against the midget nationals at Beleville?
