Laverne Spencer from the ILLINI midget series along with Jay Tinder from the Midwest Midget Series has teamed up to form a new midget series. We are currently working on a name for the new series and will be announcing it in the near feature. It is our goal to offer teams and racers with all budgets to be able to race together. We are still working on some basic rules for this season but wanted to get the word out that pavement midget racing is back.

Will it run at any other venues or mainly Grundy

We are still working on things so we do not have the specifics on where we will be running at. I am working on some other possible tracks to include a few in Indiana. Right the majority of races are scheduled at Grundy.

I have one car I stop building on when I seen the stars stop , I,m wanting to have two car team , but I,m on hold for now ,I'm located on the east central area of Indiana ,

Had some questions about our tire rules. They will be the same ones as the ILLINI series has been using. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. We also will be announcing the series name real soon.
