It's actually a new creation from Tobias. I believe it is a spec series called SpeedSTR. Also, Mopar is part of the deal with spec engines. You can find out more by going to this link...

Basically, it's not a normal midget and you won't be seeing them running with USAC, etc.

Thanks for informing me.

Tobias always seems to dance to the beat of a different drummer. I like that.

They kind of look like JJ Yeley's Mopar Million Car a couple of years ago!

Think it'd go over a lot better than the Mini's. Just my opinion.

I think they would make a wonderful replacement for the tin-tops

Beautiful?? Thats not an adjective I'd use to discribe it...

Again just ANOTHER way for racers to spend money on another class. Anyone remember the original idea behind the Focus Midgets? One car for dirt/asphalt quickly morphed into practically requiring two cars - one for asphalt, one for dirt.

Between the 600's, TQ's, Kenyon Midgets, Focus, regular midgets and 305, 360, 410 winged and non-winged, don't we have enough variety and ways to spend money - already?

Plus some local or regional "sportsman" type classes.

Compare the speedstr to a "Slingshot by Tobias" Silver Crown car...:kookoo

Re: What is the Chassis on this Midget???
 

the wheels and tires on the yellow car appear to be similar to those used on Pike's Peak hill climb cars. is it possible that this car is one of those used for that application?

Nope - according to the website, it's another circle track car.....and in my opinon, a bit ugly...

I apologize for that stupid "beautiful" crack. :rolleyes:I keep forgetting that only certain people are allowed to voice their opinions.

Is there a racecar in that photo?

Re: What is the Chassis on this Midget???
 

Does she come with the car?

Re: What is the Chassis on this Midget???
 

We have a Tobias Pavement Silver Crown car and this looks a lot like that one. Somebody talked about the different wheels on that car. Tobias always believed in using the "wide five" wheels because of their strength and weight. Definately a unique piece! (The car's not so bad, either)
