I guess there is plans for the ASCS to have a midget class for the 09 season. I do not know much about it just what I have read on message boards.

"Yes it is going to happen. The cars will run a Chevrolet motor that is being fine tuned as we speak. All the motors can be purchased for under $10,000. If won't be like the Ford focus cars with very little power. These babies will hum. The series won't kick off until 2009. We look forward to having a bunch of the micro guys crossing over and buying midgets. This series will be nationwide not just in this region.
Stay tuned for further info." This came from Ton Hahn who I think is one of Emmett's son on a message board.

Did you guys just hear a smack or slap sound ??
I'll bet it was some recums slamming shut over at USAC headquarters.

Does that include $2500 worth of machine work for their ASCS Spec Head, like the Sprint series requires?
Emmett do me a favor, don't do me anymore favors!

I know they said national, but given ASCS being headquartered in Oklahoma, I think this will cause more concern for POWERi than USAC.

If it brings more competitive dirt midget racing to some of the other areas that ASCS currently runs, great.

Now, if we could just get World Racing Group to announce the Non Wing World of Outlaws tour..............

At least someone is stepping out of the box for once.

If it weren't confusing enough, don't forget about the Tobias Midget thing they run in the east

Word of advise, Don't worry about trying to run with the USAC teams. Race where you can and enjoy yourself. Don't go where you are unhappy and just complain. :headbang:headbang:headbang:headbang:headbang:head bang
