I'll second that. If I was looking for a car to get into racing right now, this is a no brainer. Car is like new!

I used to race karts when i was younger and am wanting to get into mini sprints, i however have never heard the distinction between d1 and d2. i know that the 600's run an offset engine and 1000's are contained inside the cowl, and sprints run a wing and midgets don't but what does d1 and d2 mean? Sorry I am just trying to get into it and familiarize myself with the terms.

D2 is a non-wing Midget classification. 1000cc "upright" Mini (or Lightning) Sprints are legal to run in most, if not all "D2" associations along with stock block 2.4 liter automotive engines like Chevy Ecotec, ford Duratec, etc. The 1000cc Motorcycle engines and the 2.4 automotive engines put out roughly the same horsepower (200-240) on methanol with electronic or mechanical fuel injection. There really is no official "D1" designation but if there were it would refer to the USAC/POWRi "National" Midgets with purpose-built aluminum block engines (like Esslinger, Fontana, Stanton/Mopar, Toyota TRD) that put out around 450 horses.
That's about the gist of it; Montpelier lets everybody run together with very open rules and some weight and tire allowances for stock-block and motorcycle powered cars and the Midwest Lightning Midget group (I think that's what they call themselves now) is formulating a rules package somewhere in between "D2" and Montpelier.
Or you could run at Waynesfield or with MMSA strictly with other 1000cc Lightning Sprints, mostly wing with 5 or six non-wing shows sprinkled in.
