You have to wonder if they will be back next year. They scheduled some races that were almost guaranteed low car counts. The whole PA swing with an ARDC club that has like a 5 car average car count. Then tonight a Sunday night show at a 3/8 mile track. That is almost a for sure failure with no support from POWRI which is a shell of its former self. I have dabbled in dirtvision just because I like the midgets but I haven't got my money's worth. I prefer Flo. I wish xtreme the best but IMO its going where the sprint car series went unless they get someone else to run it .

Yes, poor counts all year and only 13 tonight at Red Hill. Figured it was going to be low and that’s what kept me from going tonight. Be surprised if there’s another season for this series.

I was hoping that with DIRT pairing up with POWRi, they would revitalize what had been a slowly declining POWRi schedule and participation. I also hoped that DIRT’s marketing and management MIGHT bring some potential sponsors and marketing partners to midget racing. Although they did expand the schedule some, participation has plummeted. I know USAC car counts aren’t great, but it is sad to see low teens car counts at the xTreme events.

I feel like they should have kept the sprints and dumped the midgets. Or run a lighter schedule like last year. I don't seem them back in '24

I am not ready to give up on Xtreme midgets. They need to learn some lessons from this year's schedule. Run the smaller tracks. Stay in areas where there are cars to draw from. I think there is enough support for this division. Also, the racing has been great.
