Photo By Bill Miller Midgets Return To Montpelier Motor Speedway Saturday Night, July 27 The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series will make its return to MMS this Saturday Night, July 27. The Midget series, featuring full size and power midgets, have contested just three events so far this season due to rainouts. With three races in the book, the series has found three different winners in victory lane: Darren Hagen, Shane Hollingsworth, and Billy Wease. The series championship points title chase will also heat up this weekend, with any driver currently in the top 10 within striking distance of leaving the points leader. The current points leader is Kansas, Illinois' Colton Cottle.

Absolutely. For the minis, focus, and echotech, no engine rules, any fuel or fuel delivery, no minimum weight, and any right rear tire on a 12" rim. We've found it levels the playing field pretty quickly between the engines.
For full size production Midgets, minimum weight is 1,050, a maximum 10" right rear rim, and one right rear for heats and features. Posted via Mobile Device

Is it 1 right rear only for the midgets or all cars?

Yes, it is one right rear for all cars.
We have an open tire rule (brand and compound) Also, we should have American Racer tires available at the track. Thanks to Tony Rose and American Racer for being the presenting trophy sponsor of the Midget series. Posted via Mobile Device |

I think it is just great that you guys are sticking with this interpretation of "midgets" and that you are averaging 24.67 cars per race. We did the same thing rules wise with a midget series here in Missouri for a few years but threw in the towel when only one lightning sprint would consistently show up to run with us. Even though we were on dryslick quarter miles 99% of the time, and even though a 1000cc chain drive car won half of our A features, the rest of the lightning sprint guys convinced themselves that they couldn't be competitive.
Hats off to Montpelier and hats off to the guys who are actually doing their part and showing up with racecars. Keep up the great work. |

Midgets compete first. Usually around 9:00-9:30. We try to run a fast program.
