The races at the Ohio State Farigrounds on the half mile in the 1960's were great times in front of over 20,000 people.

Hold it right there, did you catch that? 20,000 people at a midget race?
If we could be racing midgets in front of 20,000 people today, I think the payout would be such that we wouldn't be bickering about the cost of tires or how long they last.
The question should be.... How do we fill the stands again?
I personally think those days are LONG gone.
Racing is not chaep. If you can't afford to do it at a certain level, be humble and step down a notch or two. Winning is still fun whatever "level" you are at.
