I am SICK and TIRED of hearing about UNSAFE bolt on weight...I am really getting pissed about this...Go karters will bolt a 100 pds of weight mostly on the seat (fiberglass) with 1 3/8 grade 8 bolt 2 fender washers and double lock nut them and I have YET to see a piece of weight come off...NO you can not tape the weigh on with masking or electrical tape but you can do like Andy Bradley and his guys did a few years ago when they did not meet weight. They borrowed sheet lead and put it in the seat and when seated and buckled up, that lead is not going any where unless the driver does....I also had lead with 2 bolts and a strap so it could be SAFELY attached and double nutted...

ALL WEIGH must be painted white....this is so the tech inspector can easly look at ALL bolted weight and make sure it is PROPERLY secured...we are not rocket scientist here (well Dad might be) lol...but damn fellows here are the rules....come to Florida...get out of the cold... enjoy our weather... and make your car legal before you make the trip so I don't have to be an A-hole and send you home.

I love these cars both Lightning/Mini sprints and sportsman/division II midgets...we can all race together COMPETITIVELY at half the $$$ of a full blown midget...So from this day forward I will refer to these cars as Division II Midgets...they are the same but a little different in their own unique way!! The fans see midgets or winged midgets and we are all entertainers and those hard working people in the stands are who we need to entertain.
