Len, I appreciate your question, as I had the same one, many years ago, when I decided I had probably ran too long with WKA, not that the fun was gone, but I had passed the time to move up, if I was going to. Being in S.Bend, I'd steer you more toward either a Sprint car, or midget, when I made my move, I went with a TQ midget, they were very popular, and that was when full midgets were in limbo, about where thay were running. If you make the choice to go with a midget, the "dub's" might work, especially indoors, but for all around use, an "EcoTech" might be in your range, or if you have deep pockets, a Ford, a Mopar, a Chevy, Esslinger, any of the hi-output 4 cylinders might be in your budget. Again, being in SB, you do have some opportunities to run, not too far from your "base Circle", and, if you choose to go with a sprint car, you have about the same tracks, that run them. Depends on how much you want to travel, I know with WKA, if you are like us, we ran the 7 or 8, big shows, in Florida, Wisconsin, New York, and Georgia, and wherever they decided to have the Nat's, so at the time, traveling wasn't an issue, now if a trip to Shelbyville, Rushville, Madison, Brownstown, Columbus, doesn't seem out of the question, then a TQ midget may be in your mirror, there will be a TQ race in your neck of the woods, come July the 10th, at LaGrange Cty Fairgrounds, the King of Indiana TQ's will be racing, might be one close enough for you to ck them out. Good luck with your decision. Bob!
