One of my midgets I bought complete with a sb2 gearte and all of the spares for $7,000 dollars. I sold the extra tank and bladder and spare frame and some of the other parts. To make a long story short , I ended up with $5800 in the complete running car. I ran a season on it and then put $ 1000 in redoing the engine , its better than ever. My other car has a little more money in it, I made some bad choices .I bought an almost new qcs rear end for $ 550 . There are many good buys out there. I have been watching the adds on mini sprints and trying to figure out how to get one my wife. I like racing togather and it sure helps car count. It is hard to travel but maybe we can get some reginal races then some bigger races . Did I mention that I am once again having fun racing.
