Having raced at Mini Indy for ten years, I got to see a lot bore crap go on than goes on in the bigger leagues of racing. As for wether the kids got any advantage either way, I doubt it. The kids probably werent even thought about. I went to a few meetings with my parents they always seemed to be a lot of adults trying to start stuff and not really get much accomplished. Hopefully one of the organizations takes control of the parents that think there kid is better than the rest and start crap over nothing. I know this was getting bad when my family got out of it and it really sucks. Quarter midgets are a great way for a family to have fun together and hopefully it returns to that even more.
Just my opinion though.
