Stars runs national midgets at Grundy Co. on pavement and last year changed to American Racers. I believe that all their competitors are happy with that decision. Then I would suggest putting a new tire limit per night on all competitors to keep the price of attending down. Maybe 2 a night or something. And as its been mentioned, leave the midgets to race on smaller tracks until the base of cars is built back up. Big HP to go fast on big tracks means big $ and people will quit attending when they have no chance to compete. And I would suggest limiting the travel radius from Indy as well. No Phoenix or Irwindale races on the schedule. There are plenty of really nice race track in the midwest that would work nicely.
But, USAC will kill the pavement series before they'll do something proactive like that.
How many cars did Grundy get last year. I was there the year before and it wasn't real good the night I was there. I still think it is a cool track.
