I didn't read anything that said UMRA drivers or the Goffs couldn't race. Maybe I missed it! I'm sure if any of the other teams from UMRA want to race, they can and will. Terry Eaglin is a hell of a guy!! Good Luck and Merry Christmas to all!!

read it again, see where they are working with UMRA anywhere in that statement? I see from his own release he's only working with ONE club, now how is that FAIR????

The king of indiana t.q. Midget series opening night will be on april, 7th at brownstown speedway in brownstown indiana. I know everyone is saying this is not good for t.q racing, but this series is going to work with the m.t.q.r.l. And greg staab and try to get races before there season starts and have our other races on nights the mtqrl is off. We have a lot of things working right now we have four dates at the speedway in charlestown, in. Most races will pay $500 to win, and $90 to start. There will be a guarented point fund that the winner will recieve $500.00. There will be no league fees there will be a $5.00 dollar entry fee at each race to help pay for the pit steward.

There will be more details later, interested to here some feedback.

Thanks

again, you if you're not working with BOTH clubs then it's NOT a king of series.......

well first i would like to say that any teams are welcomed to come and race our series, we have nothing against the umra driver's we would love to have them at our shows. As for not working with the umra, we have heard that they dont have any races scheduled, they had a meeting in december and didnt have enough people show up to elect officers so the umra is up in the air right now, also the reason we aint working with the umra is we have offered them in the past to work with them at our annual funfest and other places and pay a big purse for the drivers and were told that they just wanted to stick to the races they have had over the years. so if they didnt want to work with us why should we work with them.

There's no way that this is a bad thing, that's for sure. The more races that are available for the drivers and teams, the better! I'm glad to hear it. This isn't about MTQRL v. UMRA, but more about giving the drivers and teams a chance to race.

I believe that certain people are more concerned with the Goff's, rather than the UMRA, or TQ racing as a whole. It wasn't that long ago that UMRA was being bashed about suspending a Goff.

Here I go again. We still have a bunch of old 600cc sprints setting around with no place to race. They race pretty good with TQ's and it would sure be nice if someone would make a place in their rules to let these old 600's with chain drive run with TQ's. I got two That would like to run ever once in a while. Yeh ! I know "there is a difference". I bet you might even get an Ambrose to race a few times. They out grew TQ's.

TQ's have drive shafts max 836cc 2 valve motors or 750cc 4 valve motors no trans or clutch. Sprints use later model motors either 600, 750, 1000, or 1200cc with trans and clutch and usually use old outdated chain drive to rear wheels.
