I was always wondering why no lightning sprint series allows D2 midgets like Ecotech and Ford focus midgets to put wing spuds on and run wings with lightning sprints? I've asked around but never got a answer so I figured I'd ask here. This is going to be I think my 4th or 5th year running a Lightning sprint which is 90% of the time at Waynesfield and didn't run with a D2 midget until 2016 but what I seen is the Lightning sprints 90% of the time around here beat the midgets. I'm guessing and been told it is because they have more weight and power then us and can't get it to the ground as good as us lightning sprints so would the wings make them faster then us or be about identical? Just a question I always wondered.
