Just wondering if anyone has any news from the Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Meeting that took place yesterday?
i.e. - Rules, Possible Weekly Payouts, Racing Rules, Race Format, ect....?

2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.

We all see the complaints from people affiliated with midget racing on this board. Purses, costs, tires you name. I'd like to thank Montpelier for sticking their neck waaaaay out there in support of midget racing.

The midget racers now have someone trying to work with them, I hope the midget racers try to work with Montpelier.It would be nice to see something WORK in midget racing in Indiana.

Midgets Powered By Spec Engines, Volkswagen, Entirely Stock Production Block and Head, Chevy II, etc... - No Minimum Weight

All 1000CC and greater Upright Mini Sprints (Non Wing) are eligible to compete in the midget class. Cars falling under Mini Sprint rules will be motorcycle engine powered and may be chain driven or utilize a traditional driveline and quick-change rear end.

First Night is Tentatively Scheduled For Saturday, April 7

If the feedback from this draft is favorable, we should have a complete schedule and definite rules released by the beginning of the year.

Please keep the feedback and emails coming!
