Dad is a great American who is fun to chat with here and at the track. He owns 1000 cc Mini Sprints that run at Montpelier with full midgets. I have decided to not add the 1000 cc cars at Fort Wayne to run with the midgets.

That was probably a very good decision on your part Tony.
Many "traditional" Midget racers would have probably got their shorts up in a knot had we showed up. With the unfair advantage of that chain drive and stuff.
From looking at our times at the "Big E" we probably could have also made a USAC main up there, and that would have been very "MUNCHKIN UN-KOOL"
Looks like the car count out at the "Tulsa Shootout" is growing every year so I guess if we want to race on New Years (staying home is a drag) we will have to go West and chase that elusive "GOLDEN DRILLER".
