I don't think the problem is so much the expense of cars or whatever as just a lack of series to race with. POWRi is as good as ever. Badger is down (but for what reason I'm not sure...?). A big problem was when NAMARS folded...and that obviously wasn't because of a lack of competitors or fans, right? I really think that put a big hit on the pavement side of midget racing, and it took away a great place for guys to race that wasn't the "USAC National Championship."
Could something like that come back to life?

Thats it, Namars folded and since then we've had next to nil midget racing. Many of them teams don't even exist anymore.
Leaders Edge says... Its about the same to run a sprint car so, why not? and you have a ton more options. I can see that. too.
I've been both dissapointed and very pleased at recent midget shows. Mulit consis ect are not needed to make a good show but some competiton just to make the show is a factor in what makes a race better or worth traveling too. .
I mentioned several times the 305 limited nw sprints I seen about ten years ago and to me, they were as exciting as the full ups. Except for Qualifying, the amount of speed really doesn't matter unless its crawling slow like some of the dry slicks I've seen.
Best of luck
