Will gasoline be allowed for the motorcycle cars? I think that Florida still allows it?

What tracks will be running these? We currently have a lightning sprint so we would be interested in this.

This definitely has the potential to be successful, should be interesting to see what kind of tracks they can get on board.

How you doing? Somehow I thought you were a non wing racer at heart? Have you got your car on the race track yet? We looked for you at Du Quoin, but were having problems and didn't get around too much.

I really don't see wings in the future for the PowrI Division II Midgets, but the Mini Sprints will still be racing them. The way I understand it is that with PowrI adding their clout to this class and their ability to provide more sponsorship money they should also be able to raise the purse. I understand that they also will make available great Insurance for the racers.

These things should take off like a Bat Out Of Hell". I would also bet that they show up at some class tracks in Indiana in the near future and probably will be the support class for the PowrI National Midgets when they race in Indiana.

I wish them good luck and hope we can add some support for them. I think they probably stay at the same La quinta Inn that I do.
