The Montpelier Motor Speedway has only 1 midget race currently scheduled for the remainder of the 2012 season. If you are a midget driver or owner of a legal car in the division, your support of this final race would be greatly appreciated and will help to shape the direction of the series for 2013 in terms of scheduling, payout structure, rules, etc…. We hope to have and see your support during the 2012 season as we head into 2013. With fan and car support, we do currently have race dates left where Midgets could possibly be scheduled.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

I really hope to see a good turnout. One great night could turn into a show or 2 being scheduled in October. We had 27 the first night..and although there haven't been as many since the racing has been excellent.

It says the mini sprints get a unlimited weight break and wider rear tire???

Does that mean there is no weight min for the mini sprints? What is the weights for the midgets? Are there seperate weights for the Ecotech/Focus midgets then the standard midgets?

What width rear tire can a mini sprint run? What rear tire width does a midget have to run? Again is this different for the Ecotech/Focus?

Re: Montpelier To Host Midgets This Saturday, Sept
 

The Mini Sprints, Focus, and Ecotech cars all receive an unlimited weight break.

Cars utilizing a purpose built midget engine with unlimited modifications are required to 1,050 including the driver.

The Mini-Sprints only receive 2" additional inches on the right rear. All Midget cars including Focus and Echotech must run a 10" rim but are allowed to mount a 12" tire.

For the full production Midgets are rules match the National organizations. For the cars, that are a little under horsepower, we equalize their chances with the weight break and additional tire width.

Our one right rear per night rule is meant to be cost saver but also equalizes the high horsepower cars as tire management/choice does come into play to get through the entire night.


Also, it looks we are going to have a nice car count on hand this weekend! We hope fans will come out and enjoy Midget racing for just $10!!

May be too early, but does anyone know what they are doing for next year with this deal. Considering building a midget for next year.

Re: Montpelier To Host Midgets This Saturday, Sept
 

i think if the support is there they will continue having midget races. they have worked hard at the deal and run a great show every time.

Re: Montpelier To Host Midgets This Saturday, Sept
 

they(mountpiler) have posted on other post that there running again next season.

Re: Montpelier To Host Midgets This Saturday, Sept
 

If anyone has a midget or a mini sprint and wants to run this weekend..this is the time to do it. I encourage anyone to come out and run. It will help shape the future of the division at Montpelier Speedway.

About 2hrs until SETracing arrives at the Montpelier Motor Speedway.....looking forward to sling some mud!
