We are still "Playing" If I was racing for a real I guess I would have to fire my son, and find a skinny driver to race with. Now what about that 240 lb guy just getting into "playing" with MINI-SPRINTS. With a light weight car we cross the scale at about 1050 lbs with a wing at the end of a race. Does this 240 lb. guy have a chance to run up front, I don't think so he gets in to racing and right back out again. I am kind of partial to MMSA rules.

Dad Are you speaking about the Florida winternational rules?
I have been in direct contact with Bill and have followed his rules some what close...specially weight....Here are the ....

MMSA weight rules:

Cars using alcohol/methanol and ethanol fuel must weigh a min. of
935 lbs. with driver for winged events, 900 lbs. for non-winged.

cars on gas weight will remain at 900 lbs. for winged races with driver and reduced to 865 lbs. for non-winged.

600cc cars min. weight with driver is 875 lbs, for winged and 840 lbs for non-winged.

SSLS weight rule:
1000cc 950 lbs. with driver for winged events, 925 lbs. for non-winged.

1205cc 1025 lbs. with driver for winged events, 1000 lbs. for non-winged

1352cc/with quick change ONLY 1100 lbs. with driver for winged events, 1075 lbs. for non-winged

600/750cc UPRIGHT cars min. weight with driver is 875 lbs, for winged and 850 lbs for non-winged

The same for gas/alky/E-85

The Southern States Lightning Sprints Series Champion weight 280 and has 8 wins W/O the wing....that is why I am such a proponent of non wing racing....it brings everyone closer and you can actually use the drivers weight to you advantage....

you will never every please everyone and don't even try to be perfect (we all know what happen to the last perfect guy on earth) less just RACE have fun and here are the rules...you can come race or you stay up north and freeze your butts off in Feb....oh and Dad that was just a general statement NOT intended toward you...I was in Indiana for 1 winter and that was all it took for me to come my butt back to Florida...LOL
