These are great midget car photos but sadden me because unlike the Australians here in the UK we have had nothing to match this sort of thing IMO.

It could prove an interesting comparison, but a differential would be that that the Australians cars are circa 1960s-1970s and racing on a cinder or clay surface. The GPMC midgets would be compared to times most likely on tarmac. And it would need to be based on a track of similar size to the Brisbane Exhibition Speedway - 'the Ekka' - which I would say was somewhere around a quarter-mile (440 yards). For all that, it would be an interesting exercise but not one that I fancy doing although I'd love to see a result.
