A "Big" Midget race in my mind would have a pit area full of driver's like Clauson, Hagen, Hines, Abreu, Bell, Pickens, and others. A pit full of cars capable of pounding the cushion, throwing bonzai sliders, and on the edge of disaster lap after lap.
Honestly, anything less at a "Big" Midget race would be quite disappointing.
There is nothing wrong with Mini/Lightning Sprints, Kenyon Midgets, Focus and Ecotech racing. I have seen good races in all of these classes, but it is NOT the type of cars or racing fans expect at a "Big" Midget race.
I hope all of these races are successful, but misleading people is not the answer. You may fool the casual fan once, but it won't happen twice.
