I love midgets, and I would love to own one, but mostly to run the chili bowl. Bread and butter racing for me is winged 410 sprinters, and I'm doing that on a budget. My engine is more than 10 years old, and most of my tires are take offs. Once I quit crashing in the back of heats and B mains I got pretty competitive. ( Timed 3rd quick one night, and got a top 10 with an ill handling cat on used tires 2 weeks later)I bought my engine for 8k and added a 5k rebuild. The rebuild came after I knocked myself out and let the engine run wide open for 20 seconds with no driveline. You should not have that problem. The purses are a big help to me and most midget purses don't compare. So I figure if you want to make a living as a driver/owner, it has to be winged sprint's, and they can be done on a budget if the purse money is there.
