"Andy Bradley holds off Lynn Ambrose for the win at Western Kentucky"

As the rain threatened Saturday night, 15 MMSA Lightning Sprints signed in at Western Kentucky Speedway.
The track crew used the light rain received to transform the speedway into an extremely fast and smooth racing surface. During the heat races it was very evident that WKS was a perfect venue for the MMSA. Most cars fell between the 16-17 sec lap times, and top speeds where clocked near 100mph.

Bradley led the field to green and led the first five laps until a very fast Colin Ambrose went to the high side and pulled from the field. Ambrose pulled to a comfortable lead, at the halfway point the yellow came out for sprint car regular Mark Perry who cut down a tire. During the caution laps disaster struck for Colin Ambrose as one of the coolant lines burst on his #36. With one to go Lynn Ambrose put his #77 machine on the bottom to challenge Bradley but was unable to make the pass giving Bradley his first feature win of the year and his first win as a car builder.

Bradley, L. Ambrose , and Mensendiek round out your top three.

Alex Shipman was the hard charger passing 8 cars to end up 6th, and Luke Cone was the top 600cc.

MMSA

Is it "Lightning Sprints" now? Guess that would make us "MLSA" instead of "MMSA"?
Time to start talking about Twin City?

Honest Dad himself

pay attention DAD, it's MMSA Lightning Sprints....I like it better than MINI...since the little cars have taken over our name instead of using their true name MICRO SPRINTS

Ron

When we was growing up and racing we called them "Micro Midgets". Powered by Cushman's. Villier's, Wisconsin''s, and even a few little 250cc Konig's.

"Mid-West Mini Sprint Association Lightning Sprints" "MMSALS" Right?

Kinda of Like the "American Mini-Sprint Association Lightning Sprints" "AMSALS"

I See Said The Blind Man.

I kinda of like "Metric Midget's" my self, you know, Full Midget race car's powered by a metric sized motor. I think the USA switched over to the "Metric System" back in the 70's, it's high time we get with the program. We would be racing on a .4/10th Kilometer track.

I ran micro midgets. I think. And Modified Midgets. I think. And Mini-sprints. I think. Before I went to the sprint car. I'm just glad I sold them when I did. Because today I wouldn't know what to tell people that I raced. Lol.

leohr

We are still looking for our true identity. You might say we are "Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered"

Do you race Econo 2 bl, 305, 360, 410, winged on non winged, USAC, ect, ect?

Honest Dad himself

You may want to consider inserting the word "upright" in there somewhere,

MUMSALS, MMSAULS, etc.

The next time they have a "National rule meeting" they should consider the names of

Midget Lites or Midget II's, move up a notch, get away from those "other" cars,

Bill may

As a young kids I can remember a few "NUMNUTS" racing with us.

Honest Dad himself

Dad. I just run non-wing 410's locally.
Also congratulations to Andy. We have raced several laps together at Linton. Way to go on also being the car builder.

Bill

What would be wrong with just "Midget" and or "Winged Midget"? Isn't that what we are racing after all. We take a Midget Chassis and running gear and power it by in our case a 1000cc motorcycle engine instead of a "TRO Toyota" motor. Kinda of like "360" as opposed to "410" Sprint Car.

Less I forget the same people who did not think "Mini" was appropriate also disdain the term "Midget" and I bet "Washington Red Skins". So I guess that leaves us with the term "Speed Cars" doesn't that sound appropriate "Mate".
