Midgets are scheduled Sept. 1st & 2nd. Be nice if they could reschedule sprints for a double bill

When in doubt Gas It

They're running the badger midgets with them! That's plenty cuz the badger midgets are better racing than USAC!

Say what you want, But I've not seen D2s or badgers pull full straight wheelies. Perhaps as it should be because what we have now is a hundred thousand dollar Midget.

At least they have rising car counts, not the other way around.

Let’s revisit this after the feature.

Hear the same thing when USAC goes into Pennsylvania. Briggs did them proud. He’s not quite Johnny Thomson or Bob Marshman but a deserving winner none the less.

I have driven D2, Badger and USAC legal cars. I never did a wheelie in a D2 car. I have both done and seen wheelies in both Badger and USAC cars. At the last MARA race in Lincoln, I was watching them do wheelies down the front stretch early in the night. Like I mentioned in a previous post. There is a major misconception around the difference in power between a Badger and USAC legal midget engines. The difference is a lot closer than people give credit for.

The difference in power between D2 & Badger is far wider than the difference in power between Badger and USAC.

It is two different features, per day. The two I saw on Monday last year, were both great.
