I don't wanna steal Mike's thunder so I won't share how he handled the welding portion of it, ingenious. Integrity either in engineering or weld quality won't be an issue, if you get a chance to talk to him in person be sure and take it. Great dude.

Yes , it's pretty and a work of art, but remember this ; They all look good and fast in the garage, but the true test is at the track. That is where you find out if it's as fast as it looks. I guess we'll all find out at the Chili Bowl.

Is there any "ROI" on any race car. I just keep my "junk" instead of being insulted.

With all respect and this certainly sells tickets, but, really, this is going in the opposite direction of where midget racing should be going.

It is about time the chassis price has caught up with the price of the engines. They used to say the chassis was the cheapest thing on the race car not so now. Maybe the chassis builders can make some money now. Those ss bumpers sure look out of place on that car.

What does a typical midget chassis weigh? Curious as to what the weight savings is...

This is very true. It is a shame that the biggest midget race is not used as a tool to increase midget racing overall. It does not do the sport any good to have a car that only races one week a year.

What we need is 250+ car racing at the Chilli Bowl and then those same 250+ cars racing at midget races through out the year.
