I agree that pavement racing is definitely struggling but it is not completely dead here in the Midwest. USAC definitely let a lot of air out of the balloon when they shut pavement down but STARS who runs at Grundy County Speedway in Morris, IL is trying to keep the Pavement midget alive.

In 2015 they ran AR tires which would last a couple of nights. I've heard some discussions regarding motors and how to help control costs. It all comes down to the mighty cost. If pavement is your thing you might consider looking into STARS.

My team will be running D2 in 2016 but we will also be running a pavement car with an Ecotec. The only way to save pavement is with a passion for it. A passion to find 50 hp in the chassis and not pour the liquid gold into motors.

Just a thought...but have motors become so much because drivers are unable to make a car work for them through setup? Midget pavement setup is a fine art but HP can make a bad setup work. I'm not saying I know how to pavement midgets. I am saying I will do what I can to support pavement midgets.
