Kokomo Speedway has run non sanctioned midgets the last few seasons 2-3 times in the year. I'm hearing a whole lot of "this can't happen" and "this won't work" etc etc. with that attitude, I don't know how anything will ever get off dead center. Montpelier would be a track that would be a good starting place. The idea of open comp races at various tracks is not a bad idea to get things off the ground. But there needs to be some major changes in the monopoly tire deal, who gets tire deals, who gets free tires and who pays full price. Also tire size, compound and wheel size. If Hoosier can sell the Focus tires for around $100, they can sell tires to regular midget guys for the same. ***. Those items being addressed would go a long ways in getting some costs down. If none of this has been tried then, some testing is in order to find what will work economically.
Also I would like to see entry fees and pit passes abolished for owners and drivers. I could go along with crew buying passes I think.
