What series is this?

Just to be clear the Union County Speedway is advertising this race as "Montpelier Midgets". We do NOT have any affiliation with the track, procedures, or payouts. To the best of our knowledge they are using our rule package, but again the Montpelier Speedway is not involved with this race.

Good luck to everyone that competes this Friday.

Leaders edge, i have talked to the track owner at union county over the weekend and he working on the track to have it ready for Friday. Johnny this is not a sanctioned race. union county had stopped at my shop and we talked about putting a midget race together there and I told him that he should follow the rules at Montpelier because they get good car count and he decided on payout. Brian the owner is wanting to sit down with Harold and try to work something out next year like what you guys did with Gas City.

Who are you? Not sure what kinda car count you expect on short notice. Montpelier has worked very hard over several years for their success.

Bear's been posting about this on Facebook for about a month and a half and Union County's had it on their schedule for a month now; I don't know what kind of other promotion has been done or what kind of response there's been for sure, but I plan on making it down there if the weather doesn't screw things up...

I wasn't meaning that as insult. I just didn't know who was behind the screen name. This post is the first I've herd of it. Lol and like me or hate me plenty of people know who I am

Can't be nothing but good for Midget racing in the Mid West. I am for making some sort of rule to allow the older Midget motors but rule out any motors with up dates on them less than 5 years old. I would also like to see a real right rear tire rule to even things up a little.

Racing is not all about speed >>>>I would rather watch a race just a little slower when the racers stay 3 wide the whole race> rather than a race that looks like a super fast freight train.
