Make sure that you understand the difference between an upright and a modified midget or sidewinder. The modified midget has the motor offset and the driver sits with his legs straight out in front of him. The mini sprint is like a midget with the engine more centered and the drivers legs underneath (more like sitting on a bar stool).
There are very few places where the upright mini sprints and the modified midgets run together. In some cases a modified midget organization will allow an upright to run with them, however modified midgets have not been allowed to run with the uprights. The modified midget is smaller and lighter, however out west there is an organization where the two run together and the upright has won races.
Make sure you understand what is running in your area. There has been more than one case where someone has purchased a modified midget, thinking that they had an upright mini sprint - only to be disappointed that there was no where to run the modified midget locally.
If you are in the Ohio/Indiana area the upright mini sprint is probably the best choice. There are plenty of places to run as either a 600 or 1000.
