What's in a name ? It's getting late here in no. Ky tonight, I've read this thread all day, (thanks Dad) I'm about to put it to bed, I have come to the conclusion that, If it works, don't fix it, as far as the MMSA is concerned, MINI SPRINTS is working.

We just finished a very good season, 18 races in 3 states,on 9 different tracks, 10 different winners, 70 different race drivers from 10 different states, 15 of the races we served as a support class, not a single promoter asked me what a mini sprint was when I contacted them to schedule, they just want to know, are we self starting ? they want to keep the show moving, the race track promoters in this area know we provide a field of top quality cars and drivers and are cooperative in serving the tracks need, that's why they place us on the schedule. I fail to see the need to change our name.

The name "Lightining Sprints" apparently appeals to a lot of orginizations,
Maybe they feel that helps them with scheduling, fan appeal, etc. I wish them all success, In the future, if condition change, we may want to adapt a different monicker. presently, I kind of like the -
"Midwest Mini Sprint Association" Winged Warrior Tour, It's worked satisfactorily for four years. I hope we can all be friends, we don't have to have the same name, some new M&M group may show up.
