As long as setup and money are the overwhelmingly most important part of the racing the racing will always be expensive, there is no such thing as a poor mans class. Guys spend more money cheating then building their program to begin with.
Racing a bike is the only way to go if you aint got bunchs of extra money, the rider is way more important to the ride then the bike, just the opposite of a race car. You can buy a used mx or speedwaybike and inless your a very good expert rider you cant come close to using all the performance of a stock bike much less a built one.
D-2 midgets exist mostly in the imagination.

Uh, no; D-2 midgets are, slowly but surely, gaining a foothold here in the Midwest; we have a distinct advantage over Wayne's situation in that open wheel racing, including Midget racing, has a firm tradition here as well as a ready inventory of used rolling chassis to build from. I may be biased but I predict this will be a watershed year for USAC MTM and IMRA competition, and I wish Mr. Davis nothing but the best in his continued efforts to grow the division and the sport in the South.
