Just like you can't judge the growth of midgets on the Chili Bowl, you cant judge the death of midgets at Eldora. There is a real reluctance of midget drivers to run on the bigger tracks. While some people may say it is about straining the motor, I truly believe it is a comfort/safety factor.

For both POWRi and USAC, when they travel to any track larger than a 1/4 mile, they have a hard time getting a large field.
