I fell in love with the midgets a little over 10 years ago when I was transferred to southern Wisconsin. At that time, there was a huge debate over Badger midgets and the cost associated to run the cars.
A decade later, it seems that the midget class is doing great. There are several well funded top of the line teams that makes sure all of the events are great to watch. It is going to be KKM car, CMR, Boat, Petry? CMR has a ton of fans because of BC. KKM is the Yankees of midget racing. You either hate them for all of their riches or you love them for their success. There are still a ton of smaller teams and one car teams that can show up and win at any event.
And now Badger has been reborn and is having great car counts. The number of D2 series/tracks is growing by leaps and bounds. And there are pockets of midgets running an outlaw/blended rules that seem to be succeeding as well.
I love midget racing and will determine which tracks I attend on where the midgets are at. When I have the ability to travel for a race, I am going to go to a midget race. Why anyone would be upset that there are teams that are bringing in top of the line cars, bringing in great talent, and sometimes even bringing special guest stars (Larson, Bell, Stenhouse) is beyond me.
OK Boomer. It is not like it was back in the day......it is better.
