I've asked the same question and the reply I always get is that Midgets at TSS don't draw a good enough crowd
TSS had the Hut 100 for I think 3 years 1st year was the USAC/ Power I argument of those rules we running. They were lucky to get the 33 cars to start and I believe that agrument also held down the crowd . 2nd Hut 100 had a threat of rain all day but they ran the race with a lot of empty seats which I understand people won't travel any distance with chance of a rain out . The 3rd race had beautiful weather to start with and WOW what a race till I am thinking maybe lap 90 and it started to drizzle and had a short red flag When race restarted what a race it was between Jerry Coons and Brady Bacon till jerry broke with 2 or 3 to go But once again not many people were there. I don;t know but I would believe TSS lost money all three years on that race so they let it go which I don't blame them cuz you can't keep loseing money I see on here IOW people saying Oh I'll be there Yeah I;m going there If half the people who say that would show up the stands would be full so now we only get one midget race a year at TSS Maybe if we get a crowd we could get another one. This is just my opinion and I'll take a bashing but I;m a big guy so let it start
