I detect a little animosity in that remark! You have not a clue as to what my problems are, heck I'm still looking myself.

We had a great time at DuQuoin and I wish a few of you guys would have come over (300 miles or so). This was mini sprint racing as it should be.

I talked to Phil last year and he mentioned that you guys ran on a lot of 3/8+ and larger track, and how Horsepower always won out. He mentioned that he did not want to be perceived as slower than the sidewinders. "WELL" good racing has very little to do with speed it has more to do with set up and driving. When you go to them big old tracks we can make up for a lot of that advantage held by a motor with a 15+ horsepower advantage with driving and handling. A lot of guys can't. If you could shop your tracks a little better and stay under 3/8 th of a mile the racing would improve. I can guarantee you that the racing at the "Mini Magic Mile" was much better, closer, and required more skill to run up front than at any 3/8 mile (super speedway's) for us mini-sprinters.

What made PowerI take off. They race at a lot of them little Micro Tracks AS WELL !!!!

Some people cry well there are so many sidewinders out there. WHY is that so? They have learned their place. They know they don't belong on big old race tracks. They race on many purpose built race tracks with little grand stands and a purse supported by the back gate. They offer enough classes that they can start kids at 6 years old and race up to a pro level racing.

They are short wheel based , overpowered, and a little squirrely to drive. They place their drivers in a go kart like driving position that is a little unconventional for a dirt open wheel car. Granted there are a bunch of them out there but some of that is because they don't know that there is something better out there to race.>>> We have managed to keep it a secret.>>> Me I am trying to spread the word!!!>>>

You think you got problems finding good motors now? You guys running stock motors blow up too?? I'll be darned!!!! Wait until a few of these "MICRO" guys get a chance to drive a upright Midget style car. Then there will be a motor shortage!!!!

DuQuoin required driving and set up to run up front. We did that after starting from the tail 4 times, It did not have anything to do with our motor, we were off the gas by the flag-stand. Motors tend to live longer under those conditions than they do at "ELDORA" and flat footed the whole race.

Heck Mark I even brought my cut away zx10r to the race with me. I could have shown you how to catch a cheat in 15 New York minutes or less. As a matter of fact I was also racing a motor with the inspection ports and cam checking device installed.
