The Montpelier Midget series allows a variety of power plants to compete utilizing an open tire brand/compound rule.

Re: Montpelier Midget DoubleHeader April 5 & April
 

Drivers, please be aware of the following upcoming dates:

Program

Our 2013 Track Program will go to the printer next week. Any Midget Driver (either full or part time at Montpelier) that would like to be included in the program, please either PM or email me (bemcevoy@yahoo.com) the following info:

Number - Name - Hometown - Chassis/Engine

If you raced at the speedway in 2012, you do not need to contact me unless there were changes from the above info from last season.

Deadline for program info is March 20

2013 Competitor's License
We are currently accepting pre-entry on the 2013 Competitor's License. This is required of all drivers during the 2013 season and directly benefits the Midget points fund. Drivers are encouraged to pre-enter for their license. This will save you time on April 5 and April 6 and will allow you to skip the lines and to get into the pits quicker. We will mail the license card to you before the first race.

If you are competing for Rookie of the Year, please declare that on this form also.

A copy of the form along with mailing information can be found at:

Deadline is March 23.

RACEceivers
A reminder that Raceceivers are mandatory for the 2013 season. If you wish to pre-order a RACEceiver, PM or email me and we will reserve the unit for you to pick up at the test or tune or first Midget race.

Purse Tiers
I have received a lot of questions on the 2013 purse. It does NOT have 4 tiers like the previous season. The purse is a guaranteed $3,400 total purse at $500 To Win | $100 To Start regardless of car count. 21+ cars and the purse is a guranteed $5,020 total payout at $800 To Win and $150 To Start.

I will add the interest is much higher this season and the series is gaining a lot of additional full time teams for 2013.

Full rules and purse info can be found at:

Upcoming Dates
March 30 - Midget Test & Tune (part of our regular program)
