You guys have came up with a great rules package I don't agree with all of them but there isn't anything there that nobody cannot live with.
Over the years what I have observed there is only 2 reasons to change rules but lately a third has can to light.
#1 someone wants to sell some product.
#2 someone thinks if they have these that or another it will give them an advantage.
#3 They (this includes me) have a fear of new technology.
PLEASE
DON'T LET ANYONE ALTER THIS RULES PACKAGE FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

Bobby,
One source will only do 1 year at a time...(I personally do not agree with that)...My current SSMS rules was written 3 years ago and lasted for 3 years. I am a firm believer that if someone "INVESTS" in our belief that we need to honor that belief for no less then 3 years. This is why the Southern States Midget Series rules like they did from 2012-2015 will be from 2016 to 2018. This is to show the commitment I have toward the racer and if he buys an engine for this years rules it WILL NOT be outlawed next year. Yes we also have in our rules like everyone else that rules can be "TWEEK" for the sake of compatition but no engine will be banned that is in place. That is why my Gator"DIRT"National rules are just a little different then my series rules...Basic engine is the same...

Division II was created as an AFFORDABLE alturnable to nation midgets and needs to be just that. I have said this to others and I will say this to the public today. NOT ENOUGH steps was taken at the Oct. meeting to keep it affordable but it was steps in the right direction to cut alot of $$$ that you have to spend.

I know I am kinda on an Island down here in the south but I do feel I am atleast part of the movement and hope all will stay true to their word and not let outside (sponsors-engine/chassis builders) influnence them for the sake of midget racing.

I wish I could make the PRI show and meet everyone but unfortunaully I am not. Hope everyone has a great time.

Merry Chrisrmas to all and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!
