Next week we have a choice stay home, run wingless at 24 or wingless at Montpelier the haul is about the same for us. Or we could just wait and try our new motor in 6th gear at the big "E". We do need to get Bill and Harold on the ball and have a shoot-out race toward the end of the year with "Big Bucks" need Brian out looking for deeep pocket sponsors. We might have to rule out a few midget motors, Maybe run Pontiac motors and down only. I know a fella that would be pretty good at helping us at "handicapping" the thing. MONEY talks and that other stuff walks! We sponsored a $1000.00 to win race at 16th street speedway for 600cc uprights many years ago and had fifty something cars show up to race. I think they tried this at US 24 speedway and had problems? maybe they got the wrong car mix or something. I still think it can be done. and Montpelier would be a great place to try it.

You guys have a great Idea, but growth is going to take a little while. The only area I could think of that has a smaller amount of open wheel fans would be LOUISVILLE KY. Most of your racers pull 2 plus hours to get there right now. Once your fans and racers find out they can race midgets on a budget your car counts will grow. Many of your mod cars have more in their engine then we have in our whole car. When this little secret gets out the numbers will grow. Honest Dad himself |

The motor always gets all the credit or the blame, that is what racers have such a hard time figuring out and that is why they spend so much money trying to fix something that ain't broke. Honest Dad himself |

Talking about evolution... Do any of you guys have plans to move to sprint cars? If not, why?

I'm sorry to see that, because that is the evolution that needs fixed!
Good luck! Posted via Mobile Device |

Bill G.
Within the past two seasons the following drivers have progessed (evolved) fom mini's to the Sprint division: S. Motsinger N. Hale D Applegate D. Dorsett R. Henning J. Paul - owner S. Miller L. Tilton I may have missed 1 or 2. Some are running paragon (the normal progression) Waynesfield, Clay Co. & other area tracks. This is the reason the Drivers want more non-wing mini sprint races, especially, on the 1/4 & smaller tracks, The MMSA is doing all we can to promote evolution. Bill May |
