I'd love to see this resurgence in car count and affordability lead to a Badger sanctioned Hut 100!

It is the inspiration for ARDC. ARDC had a super program going after someone in the club froze the engine rules years ago and THAT did drop engine costs dramatically. Badger suffered the costs of USAC engine rules first and did something about it. ARDC had an influx of new members after they got rid of the wings. And things were going great until they opened the engine rules and made it virtually impossible to compete with the old Gaertes etc. So, they are running a little behind schedule making the change over. But, that said, congratulations to Robbie and all the others for what they have accomplished. There is a huge contingent of Micros in the ARDC area. They used to be "blue collar" but they have allowed the rules to go from "stock engine off of the bike" to prices that exceed Badger midget engines. That was the source of guys "moving up" because it was cheaper to run ARDC until they "killed the Goose" with insane engine costs. Passenger car engines that can put a leash on the costs are the future. Wish us luck.
