This has been a good read with alot of replies and views. One thing that you have to understand is the NATIONAL midget pkg is here to stay. D-II is NOT going to replace them in any shape or form. What we attempting to do is give racers that can't afford a national type of engine the opportunity to come race up front within their budget and be competitive with everyone else and not just a back market.
By no means are we trying to take away what others like, such as the wings on mini sprints, but we are trying to be compatible to race each other as a whole. If we can get everyone on the same page/rules pkg and be compatible with each our series (ALL) will grow leaps and bounds.
I have have done more research, talk to different racers and track owners in the last 4 months that I feel I have a good grasp on thing. We will be having a meeting with all the different race organizations that will be in Florida for the GDN on Sat. Feb. 14 in the am.
Just to clarify we are MIDGETS whether you race a automotive engine or a motorcycle engine. There is no 1 thing from a sprint car that will bolt on to our cars but there are many things, in fact 90% of the chain driven cars are converted midget chassis with all midget components.
The difference is horsepower when we compare ourselves with "National" midgets. Division II is just like any entity that races across the US....as an example, Nascar you have the cup car, then the lower division made up of mostly guys that can not afford a cup deal and below them are the trucks. So basically you have Division I or what was Grand National cars before sponsor money came about, then Division II which was the old Late Model Sportsman class again Bush Beer came along and they became Buch cars and now you have the truck series that is a Division III series.
If we were to get a major sponsor like Dads Mufflers would we be call Dad's Muffler Midgets....you bet your arse if there is enough money there.
The FUTURE is very bright if you let go of the pass and grab hold of the future and if you can ALL look at the betterment of midget racing as a whole we have a very bright future ahead of us.....I can even see allowing turbo's in the not so distant future.
