Chris, I ran karts from 1958, to 1991, got lots of trophies, and once I won every thing they had, a qt of Steen C, 5 gal of gas, a cake with the track record on it and a little trophy with a pencil sharpener in the base, and that's as close to any money I won in a go kart, now, Tq's were quite different, man could make a dollar or two there!

you guys remember this is a start up series in Illinois and it is way easier to add to the purse then take it away....AGAIN....give it a chance to work out...I'm sure it will....remember how the "CHILI BOWL" was 25 years ago

I sure hope everyone is right and this thing takes off. I'm just not convinced they'll ever be a car count to match the current enthusiasm. As much as sitting on the sidelines another season is worse than getting a tooth pulled (I dread even opening up Facebook anymore and looking at everyone's build pictures and race results-) I'm kinda glad I get to sit by and watch how this first D2 season unfolds.

Last season ILSS ran non winged D-2 format at Lincoln speedway and had 20 cars each night. With Poweri and USAC now backing D2 I am expecting 20 plus cars a show. In a budget entry level class car count is more important than pay IMO. Not saying pay isnt nice but not sure $300 to win will detract from car count. Plus it is nice to see the full payout schedule. Then I can decide if its worth it to me based on expected cc and or pay.

I hope the D2 series does well. Its a good thing for midget racing. I don't see Micro's as a stepping stone to D2 midget racing. The competition in Micros in the Midwest is second to non!! Also, we race for good money everywhere we race!!

Micro
Have you ever raced a Midget size car either 1000cc Mini Sprint or Midget? If not you should try one out some day. Granted the sidewinders put on exceptional racing on the small tracks that aren't too rough. The bigger cars have from what I have been told an entirely different feel to them neither good or bad. AND if these guys get it right the Midget size car might be cheaper to race. Now I guess you guys have to watch out for the Out Law Karts. Honest Dad himself |

Kyle and Rico really helped the outlaw karts out!!! We have ran a Midget before. Driver loves it but I'm not spending the money for a national midget. Its hard to switch classes when you have everything you need. With the micro we race for 700 to win every Friday and Saturday. Last Friday 52 cars. Micros are still hot!!!!

Micro
Only 20 cars are racing for that $700.00 how about the other 30 or so cars. The number sounds good but they don't even need a front gate for their purse. Sometimes I like to compare Racing with Bingo. How much are you paying for your motors or motors if you race more than one class?? Sounds like you are probably somewhere near Johnny Murdock. Might try one of his rentals for a night, probably be less than what you are spending a night racing Micro's and it is an arrive and drive deal. Honest Dad himself
