I know that I was the guy that asked the question about car counts, but I hate this solution. I strongly agree that we need to have a stabilized spec engine class for midgets. I would also argue that it needs to be a common rule set across the nation so we dont become like the modifieds and every track has 4 classes of modifieds each with a unique rule class that limits them to three tracks. I could even see a track hosting a D2 event for everyone in the nation like the IMCA nationals in Boone.
However, I do not believe that all midgets in the country have to be the same. I do not have issues with a national midget costing more than a D2/Badger midget. I do not have issues that the local yocal can not compete against the KKM's of the world.
At some point, USAC/Xtreme/POWRi may come to a cross roads like Badger did a decade ago and have to make a dramatic shift to save the sport, but at this point, I don't think we are there.
