I do know one thing. If there were a concerted effort to solve the tire expense issue, it would take only an inexpensive few hours at a dirt track testing various combinations of wheels, tire sizes and compounds and brands. That would stop all the speculation once and for all that I read on here about the results.
The first national midget race I saw was back in 1959 at Canfield Speedway in Ohio. It was a 100 lapper won by Johnny Parson, Sr... the racing was thrilling from beginning to end, no one flipped, and they all ran on ultra skinny tires.... and I wasn't pelted with dirt and there wasn't a huge dust storm. I'm not campaigning to return to 1959, but the greed is way out of control today.
