Organized in 2010 to establish non-winged Midget racing in the south, the Southern States Division II Midget Series (SSMS) will compete as the support series at the upcoming February 21-23 AMSOIL USAC Sprint Car events at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla.

Headquartered at Marion County Speedway, a short distance south of Ocala’s Bubba Raceway Park, the series incorporates a variety of machines as it begins its third Winternationals calendar.

The opening races of the 2013 AMSOIL USAC Sprint series at the 3/8-mile dirt oval mark USAC’s third consecutive year there. It continues a tradition of Florida racing which began when USAC’s inaugural Sprint race ever was contested at West Palm Beach in 1956.

Defending Champion Rob Feeney and 2011 titlist Darrin Davis are expected to compete in the Southern States Division II Midget program, along with Winternationals kings Mike Kiser (2011) and Canada’s Daniel Nadeau (2012).

“We are excited to partner with USAC in the February races at Ocala,” says Wayne Davis, owner and promoter of the series. “I look forward to the challenge our teams will face on the 3/8-mile oval and the exciting competition we expect to generate. “With passion, drive and determination we have produced midget racing at the truest form of auto racing with so much power with a short wheel base they provide the intense racing the fans crave for when they pay their hard earned dollars to come to a race track."

SSMS sported over 50 drivers from a dozen states and two countries last 2 years.

“The SSMS will create for our fans a stellar double-header at Ocala,” says USAC’s James Spink. “It’s two open wheel series and one big weekend in the Florida sun!”

Division II midgets and USAC sounds good. Feather foot it a little, don't want to be too fast.

The Southern States Midgets race a combination of midget style cars. 1st you have the Lightning sprint which is a motorcycle powered 1000/1200cc midget chassis car that is chain driven. 2nd is the famous Ford Focus Midget which is a 4cly ford 2.0/2.4 inline engine that USAC has made famous for their economical racing. We then run the Chevy version of this car called the Chevy Ecotec that is getting a lot of attention out in the Oklahoma/Texas region. It is a midget chassis powered by a Chevy 2.0/2.4 Ecotec engines. And our last combination of midget is the Kenyon midget that is motorcycle powered but has the drive line of a regular style midget which ios torque tube, driveshaft and quickchange rearend. The weight and tire compound motorcycle (SP-2) auto (SP-3) Hoosier difference between the Motorcycle powered and auto powered is substantial enough that these car are able to run very competitive aganist each other...go to sssprints.com for 2013 winternational rules and other info needed or call Wayne Davis @ (904) 803-3255... thanks WD
