It's kind of funny how much harder a driver will drive when chasing that miniature driller, totally forgetting about that big pay check at the end of the race. In racing at the shoot out I guess most of those guys figure you are either a Hero or a Zero and go for the win at all costs.
There are already some race videos up on you tube that I think are better than racing boys did because they did not bounce around so much.
The Echo tecs looked to me to be the Midget of the future. There may have been some slightly warmed up versions at Tulsa this week but they put on one heck of a race and have that Midget sound to them, they also have enough torque to do a really nice do nut at the end of the race. The problem will be policing them, They leave a lot of room in their for improvement and I am sure there are racers out there willing to spend whatever it take for an edge, and that will be their downfall if organizations do not exert a lot of restraint on them.

Dad the Division II midgets will be the wave of the future. We will have 2 tech guys at GDN 1 for the chain drives and 1 for the Auto side.....This Inaugural national we will be just a little slack on depth of the engine but on weight/tire compound and engine size....NO LEEWAY at all....1/2 of pound under is the same as 100 pds under...1 point under durometer is the same as 10 points.......NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!
