Dad...right on Brother....this is why I coined the name Division II Midgets...In most sports there are lower divisions of the premier divisions of sports...College ball you have Division I with all the major colleges, then there are Division II schools ....same game, same platform, just down on size or in our case HP. Nascar has what used to be Grand National cars (cup cars today), then Sportsman car (nation wide) again pretty much the same car with lesser HP.... Baseball same thing.

Comes "MINI" sprints which is not a sprint car, similar, yes (especially with the wing) but todays cars are basically "CONVERTED" midgets (with or without the wing).

So why NOT drop the name "SPRINT" and incorporate midget? As I said we run chain driven UPRIGHT only cars 1000cc and quick change cars ford focus and chevy ecotec. A diverse field but yet very equal in speed and performance. No we do not run wings which is some difference then some of the organizations up north as the do both. We the SSMS had issues in the beginning as we where "LIGHTNING" sprints and fans were very confused here in Florida.

Anyway adding the word "MIDGET" will save on confusion. Here in Florida we have the Florida Mini Sprints that are sidewinder micro cars but because they race with 750's, in it's conception back in '91 they chose Mini over Micro. Seems as if in the US the micros are the 250-270 cars and the 600's are taking the name "MINI" so there are still alot of confusion out there. I hate change but sometimes it is inedible.

Just my 2 cents and with 2 cents you can't even buy bubble gum anymore!!
