Besides Little Belleville and Mighty Macon being built specifically for midgets, the original short track at Fairbury, Illinois was also built with midgets being the primary genre. The reason I say "original short track" is because there is/was a 1/2 mile horse track on the Fairbury Fairgrounds that was used fairly extensively for auto racing prior to WW II and the original short track, the aforementioned track that was built for the midgets shortly after WW II, was completely reconfigured sometime back in the 1990's to better accommodate the late models and modified's.
IMHO Mighty Macon is the best outdoor midget track in the Midwest. Little Belleville is generally just as good on any given evening. It would be a huge loss if Little Belleville is allowed to founder and disappear!
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
