Tate's a great kid from a great family. He has very little seat time in a full midget on dirt. He has raced a full midget on pavement on occasion. I would love to see Tate get more full midget starts on dirt!

Way to go, kid!

I didn't get a chance to mention Tate in my first post, but his ride on the high side was incredible. I know when the push truck got behind Tate to restart him after the flip a big cheer went up in the crowd. Don, at Montpelier alone, gave three guys new to Midget racing a shot that they may not have ever received otherwise. Tate certainly took no prisoners with his shot and turned a lot of heads!

We want to sincerely thank everyone for their support last night, and throughout the season. We know it is tough to support a new series with the uncertainties that surround it, but we hope you felt like we gave you a good place to race, followed rules, treated everyone fairly, and followed through with everything we said we would do. We certainly worked hard at it.

At the end of our season, we will survey where we are at with the series, again look from input from car owners and drivers, etc...

Feel free to PM me or email me (bemcevoy@yahoo.com) with any questions or comments, and I will get back with you.

Isn't it crazy how he just keeps getting better with time. Congrats on the good run back through the field. Hope he get to run that car some more.

SETracing had an awesome time at the track Saturday. Wish we coulda got the 52 refired after the 2nd red but we will build on last weekends event and get ready for next time. Looking forward to coming back to Montpelier Motor Speedway. It was fun to race against national cars and run competively.

My son Alex drives the 3E minisprint – to be honest, I thought we’d make the drive from Columbus, Ohio once, say we ran against midgets on a full-sized track, and that would be it. However, we had a blast, met some great people, found we could run competitively, and decided to come back as often as we could. So despite the logistical challenges of Alex off to school at Miami University, plans to participate in the Hewitt the next night, etc., there was no way we would miss the Montpelier’s midget season finale. I’m proud as heck with the job Alex did, running 5th most of the feature and just getting edged by Tate at the checkered. Thanks to Lynsey Tilton and Joe Ligouri for their efforts to promote the series, and the help they provided to all the competitors – congrats to Lynsey on her points championship. To Brian and the staff at Montpelier, thanks for making us feel welcome, and all your efforts to support midget racing, regardless what engine is under the hood.

It was fun to watch Shane Hollingsworth charge from the rear of the field back up to battle Travis Berryhill for the lead during the later portion of the feature. Shane used all of the race track to get back up to the front. Good battles throughout the field as well. As mentioned by jjones752, Tate Martz in Don Moore's #10 was running the high line and caught the guardrail and flipped. I thought that he would be done for the night and off to the pits when they got him pointed in the right direction and pushed him off. Instead of moving off of the top line he got up on the wheel and pushed it harder on top to come home with a respectable finish. The kids a gasser for sure. We also stayed for the modifieds and the feature was very good. A lot of side by side racing and they put on a good show for the folks in attendance. Congratulations to Lynsey Tilton on her championship and also a big congrats to the Montpelier Speedway staff for a nice evening of racing. I hope the midget deal can work for you folks and we can have an alternative to sprint cars on Saturday. I thought the crowd was decent and a lot of kids at the races. Also a class act by Shane Hollingsworth to give a kid in the crowd the trophy in front of crowd after the feature. The smile on the kids face was priceless. Probably will be a Shane Hollingsworth fan for life. I would like to see the show moved along better than it was last night. Too much down time and when you have a curfew I would think that would use the time wisely. Instead of 20 lap features for the midgets and the modifieds, maybe you could make them 25 laps and offer more racing. Just my opinion and we were still out of there at 10:20 PM so no major complaint. We look forward to hearing the plans for midget racing next year.

Shane Hollingsworth has always been a class act glad you got to see it. He comes from good Family. His Mom & Dad are great people some of the best people in racing
