TQ
They are both Midget race cars with optional engines and drive systems. The big difference in DII and Montpelier is that Montpelier allow National Midget Motors also. They limit the RR wheel to 10" wide and allow only one RR tire per night. Being a smaller track they race pretty good with one another but the newer National motors have an advantage. DII is restricted to Motor cycle powered cars (Mini Sprints and Kenyon) and cars powered by Stock Block>Cylinder Head>Crankshaft> late model Automotive engines.
All DII cars are welcome at Montpelier >>>some of the Montpelier cars are not allowed to race with DII.
The rules are available at

The purpose of the poll is to see where people are at as far as how much do they want to modify the engine >>>looks like they will remain pretty close to stock for the DII next year >>Translated "Inexpensive" but competitive.
