So I’m guessing they aren’t planning to let full midgets run with them?

Spec or stock production engines usually 2.4l maximum displacement. Less horsepower and much cheaper engines than USAC or POWRI national series. Can be close to as fast, but noticeably less torque and drive off the cushion or corners on a heavy track.

That makes more sense & hell yes it will be fun!

No, but the May 18 and July 6 shows are "Montpelier" rules, so it's an all-skate those nights.

It would be neat i think if they did midgets on fridays when Montpelier is running than all of us running at Montpelier could run there

Plenty of chain cars run “Montpelier rules” midget shows, Mark.

You should come out and check those races out while you Get your car built.
