Was also thinking about bringing a sidewinder too. Please let me know asap so I can figure out what I am doing.
We have already posted the rules for this event and there will not be any $15,000 dollar motors at this event. I know this did not sit well with everyone but we just wanted to have a race for non National Midgets and the Lightning Sprints to run together this winter.

Now as far as the million dollar question what should be call this. We know that this is not a USAC or POWRI Midget show. But then what do you call them? One group of people are upset with calling them Division II or Sportsman Midgets. Then we have another group upset that we are calling them midgets. This is something that we do need to get together on and come up with a name that the majority of people can live with. I do agree there needs to be some kind of distinction between the different cars. Bottom line is I know this race will be just as good of a race that took place back in December with POWRI and I hope that everyone can come out and see this event.
