Racing is about improvement and doing the best with what one has at hand. D II Midgets came along just about the right time Wayne Davis filling a void between the smaller cycle powered cars and the full blown if you like Midget racer with it very exclusive pricing structure.

The nice thing about DII midgets is it is more inclusive of other race cars and engines. Right now Mini Sprints are powered by an economical $1200.00> $5000.00 1000 cc motorcycle motors in semi stock condition. We are already witnessing motor builders out there that would like to make them go better for a nominal charge. The automotive engine starts out life also as a stock motor in a wrecked vehicle for about $300.00 to $1000.00 but it requires additional parts to make it work in a race car however these parts can be used over and over again as we explode motors occasionally. Making engine choice about even as far as out of pocket money and giving the automotive engine an advantage in the long run. It is hard to admit but there is also very little difference between a $1500.00 quick change set up and a $600.00 axle and sprocket set up with several $100.00 dollar chains and expendable sprockets that tend wear out at an alarming rate.

In racing the best usually wins out if they happen to race together as in DII midgets soon the best will win out one over the other and the majority will be one type or the other power plant.

If we protect the Mini Sprint Brand and exclude the automotive engines then in 10 years we will be racing with Motor cycle engines and chain drives just as we do today.
