Now, midget and wingless sprint racing isn't just about the cars and car owners. We can focus on how the equipment isn't being pulled in two directions with conflicting dates, but what we also have to consider is the drivers who are piloting both a wingless sprint (namely USAC) and a "national" midget. Comparing USAC's National Sprint schedule to the combined "national" midget schedule, there are MANY conflicts.
I didn't see any conflicts between USAC sprints and midgets. They share the stage for one night at Gas City and again one night at Eldora. USAC sprints and Xtreme and/or POWRi? Twenty-one conflicting dates:
April 1 USAC Sprints @ Lawrenceburg -- Xtreme/POWRi midgets @ Farmer City
April 14 USAC Sprints @ Bloomington -- Xtreme/POWRi midgets @ I-55
April 15 USAC Sprints @ Tri-State -- Xtreme/POWRI midgets @ I-55
May 5 USAC Sprints @ Eldora -- Xtreme midgets @ Humbolt -- POWRi midgets @ Sweet Springs
May 6 USAC Sprints @ Eldora -- Xtreme midgets @ 81 --POWRi midgets @ Lucas Oil
May 24 USAC Sprints @ TBA -- Xtreme midgets @ Millbridge
June 2 USAC Sprints @ Knoxville -- Xtreme midgets @ Wayne Co
June 3 USAC Sprints @ Knoxville -- Xtreme midgets @ Wayne Co
June 24 USAC Sprints @ Wilmot -- POWRi midgets @ Macon
June 25 USAC Sprints @ Angell Park -- POWRi midgets @ TBA
July 21 USAC Sprints @ Gas City -- Xtreme midgets @ TBA -- POWRi midgets @ TBA
July 22 USAC Sprints @ Kokomo -- Xtreme/POWRi midgets @ Southern Illinois
July 28 USAC Sprints @ Bloomington -- Xtreme midgets @ Ohio Valley
July 29 USAC Sprints @ Tri-State -- Xtreme midgets @ Atomic
Aug 24 USAC Sprints @ Kokomo -- Xtreme/POWRi midgets @ Davenport
Aug 25 USAC Sprints @ Kokomo -- Xtreme/POWRi midgets @ Davenport
Aug 26 USAC Sprints @ Kokomo -- Xtreme/POWRi midgets @ Davenport
Sept 15 USAC Sprints @ Circle City -- Xtreme midgets @ Jacksonville
Sept 16 USAC Sprints @ Tri-State -- Xtreme midgets @ Highland
Oct 6 USAC Sprints @ TBA -- POWRi midgets @ TBA
Oct 7 USAC Sprints @ TBA -- POWRi midgets @ TBA
This is what will limit the entrants more than equipment. Who can attract the drivers?
