        Its a matter of preference to fan and racer. To say the best run back to midgets is who you consider the best.... Many of "the best" in racing have never set in a midget. That don't mean they're any less a racer....

              I wouldn't be upset to see the nationals in St Louis bring in midgets. It would make more sense to me tho not to. If the midgets are thought to be a better class to run there then run 'em. Just run lm's and midgets, im good with that to. Just don't think 3 classes at this show is needed or wanted.

                  For me personally, i like late models and modifieds. But i really think it comes down to what part of the country u r from and what u are used to seeing. Im from Eastern KY and attend PRP and Atomic for the most part. These tracks when i go are predominately lates and mods. Im not against the midgets but i think gateway would definitely turn in to a 10 hour show. How tough are the midgets on a track? What would the midgets do to the dome track??

                    Just throwing it out there. What about LM and like Street stock/Sportsman one weekend and mods and Midget's another weekend? Or any other combination of the 4 just 2 classes two different weekends.

                    I'm also assuming they will have space to push start the midgets?

                        I just like racing of all kinds but, I will say the midgets in my opinion put on the best racing night in night out especially if the top drivers are racing that night.

                        I have to give a nod to some motorcycle races because they can put on a good show as well.

                          While at the show this last December, any time midgets were brought up, everyone I spoke to thought it was a good idea. No, I did not talk to everyone in attendance, but I did speak to many, and we all thought it would be a great addition. I felt they stretched the programs out on purpose, so adding a 3rd class should work out OK.

                            I much rather have the program stretched. just really don't like the open wheel cars. Typically, all of my group stays clear of any midgets, sprints. I honestly have tried a few times to watch, just not the same like a late. I won't go to late model shows if they are there.

                                I agree with some of the other posts put two classes on another night if you want. The stands were fuller last year than the year before. I go to Charlotte, but it is pretty obvious most of the time sprint fans leave when others are racing, same for late fans they leave when lates are done, same for big blocks. That's is what will happen.
