It is the desire of the MMSA that there is sufficient support for both tracks, However, I do feel the need to point out that it is difficult to schedule non wing mini sprint races at other tracks, The support for this race will have a very real affect on future scheduling of any MMSA events at northern Indiana/Ohio tracks.
The race at Montpelier will pay the regular MMSA purse, $500 to win, $50 to start, $25 to the hard charger, $25 to the highest finishing 600 in the "A" and $25 to all cars that fail to qualify for the "A" (must take a green flag in a heat).
All upright 1,000cc stock bore & stroke mini sprints, 600's too, are welcome to race, since this is a wingless race the 600's should be more competitive, especially on this size track, we encourage you to come race with us. If there are any T/Q's (since it's non-wing) that would like to make this race, contact me in advance, we may include you.
There will be no MMSA membership fee required for this race, if we have 20 plus cars, the pill draw will be $20 and we will pay $600 to win.
remember, even if you don't make the "A" you receive $25, I encourage you to talk to your racing friends about this weekend and I hope you
choose to support this event.
The Montpelier promoter, Harold Hunter, at the Drivers meeting will discuss the possibility of midget, mini sprint combination racing for the 2012 season.
See the MMSA website for rules, info, etc. minimum weight requirement is 890# for cars on alky, 855# on gas, 600's 825# for non wing.

Bill this is the same thing I am imposing next year with the midget, lightning and mini sprints...our weights are a lil more ...
WEIGHT
Minimum weight with the driver shall be:
NON WING
PUMP GAS
MICRO/MINI 600cc/619cc - 725bs ..... 636cc/750cc – 775lbs.
UPRIGHT 1000cc - 915lbs
NON WING
METHENOYL
MICRO/MINI 600cc/619cc - 775lbs ..... 636cc/750cc – 825lbs.
UPRIGHT 1000cc - 975lbs
these are STOCK motors....the biggest reason the difference in gas and methenoyl is cost for the change over..I am also implementing a shock rule...a series shock for under 125.00 per shock....there is no need to go spend 1000.00 per shock for this kind of racing. Of course the 3/4 money guy's do not like it but the 15/20 underfunded teams love it
