I agree, the only thing growing is stock block based and most of them aren't moving up. Big huge difference in 70k motor you have to rebuild every 7-15 races and 25-35k motors you could run all year, including half miles.
There's still too much money flyin around to ban the TRD's XR-11s etc and make the Stock Block the national. There's still the added expense of travel etc to do it.
The other poster is right. Easily 300-400 midgets out there and two third of em sit for 95% of the races. They have their reasons, I don't question that. It's not my $$$
