You probably couldn't have picked a more difficult series engine to ask about, and unless you stay in the lower end of midget racing, there is nothing more expensive, or hard to find a place to race without a lot of traveling. Montpelier, here in Indiana, has been trying to make the class affordable, by allowing almost anything to run, but it's still a challange. Just as a talking point, what made you pick this particular type of racing, it is without a doubt, not a good choice for a beginner, there are a lot of other, Midget size car classes, that are a whole lot cheaper to run, than a full Midget, maybe not any easier to find reliable answers about, but somewhat. BTW, where are you located, that is also a big factor in choice. Bob
