Here is what is good about this series:

1.There hasn't been one promoter in the Midwest since 16th Street and NAMARS (around 2000) that has stepped forward and is willing to promote midget racing. This promoter is willing to do that.

2. The series is in it's infancy right now. Please give it a chance to develop.

3. The series is not meant to compete with the high dollar orgs. The races will be run in Indiana, several hundred miles from most shows. As far as the Hut goes, that race is not for everybody. There will be owners that will choose not to run that specialty race. Much better to have guys racing midgets somewhere than sitting at home.

4. The SP4 or American Racer similar is designed to level the playing field and to bring in car/engines that have stepped aside over the last several years. You will have a choice of tire brands and I am told that tires will be sold at a discount. You will be able to run that hard tire for more than one race, probably several.

5. Aside from first and second place money, you stand a better chance of taking home more cash per race than a POWRi race purse.

On the left is the AMCT purse for Montpelier. The Scottsburg race is offering even more purse money with $1200 ro win, 225 to start. On the right is the published purse for POWRi races.

1. 1000 2000
2. 700 1000
3. 600 600
4. 500 500
5. 450 400
6. 400 325
7. 375 300
8. 325 275
9. 300 250
10. 275 230
11. 250 225
12. 225 220
13. 200 200

$100 tow money for AMCT. $50 tow money for POWRi.

There is no membership fee that I know of to race with AMCT.

These are just a few of the good things about this series. Please give it a chance to develop.
