Chain cars are lighter, accelerate quicker and have to keep thier momentum up. They also have a lot more left side wieght giving them a better advantage on slick tracks.
Real midgets are slower out of the hole, have faster straightaway speed n scrub off more speed thru the corners.
But just because they turn similar lap times and need car count you throw them together.
It would be no different than throwing midgets and late models together because thier lap times are similar.
And yes that has come up at tracks we have run, we have been asked to run a exhibition race between late model fast time vs midget fast time.
So for you guys crying "integrity", you might wana chew on that thought for a bit.

We race an FSC Chassis, others race xxx, and many other Midget Chassis are used racing Mini Sprints. There should be no difference in the speed either car will carry through the corner if set up properly and driven correctly. If you carry the speed through the turn then Torque for acceleration out of the corner is not needed. The big secret is to keep up the momentum neither motor likes to be bogged down.
The only advantage I have noted is the cycle cars have is that they can drop down a gear for starting and bog the Automotive motors down so slow that they loose the drag race to turn one. This is the fault of the Flagman.
Both cars drive and set up the same the only difference I have been told is the Automotive powered cars torque over under acceleration chain drive cars do not.
