Two of Indiana’s premier bullrings are hosting special races limited to SpeeD2 midgets only. Organized by the USAC SpeeD2 Midwest Thunder Midget Series (MTM), Night One will be held on August 16th at Gas City Speedway, and Night Two at Montpelier Motor Speedway on Saturday August 17th. Located just 20 minutes apart in northeast Indiana, the two tracks provide an opportunity for plenty of midget racing action for your gas money!
The USAC SpeeD2 MTM series has consistently drawn competitor counts of 20 cars in 2019 at its SpeeD2 races at Gas City, and 12-18 cars as a part of open midget races at Montpelier and Bloomington Speedways. In addition to its Indiana and Ohio based regulars, the series has received interested from SpeeD2 racers from Illinois, Michigan, New York and Georgia. All production-based automotive and motorcycle-powered midgets meeting USAC SpeeD2 MTM rules (
