Jim

Thanks. >>>>> A lot of folks don't appreciate us for what we are. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar we are one of the most competitive forms of open wheel racing out there. Perhaps because of our appearance (we look dead like a Midget) or performance (we are as fast as most Midgets) people equate us with high dollars. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am racing for penny's on the dollar when compared to the open wheel modified cars we shared the track with, and we were getting around there as fast of faster than they were. If guys were wanting to get involved in racing these little cars are the way to do it. Just go to the classified section and see what is available. Once you get by the high and mighty ads by people who either got carried away when building a car or the ones just out trolling for a buyer you will find a lot of cars and operations cheaper than a modified motor and many of them are capable of racing up front with the right people in charge.

Wings vs non wing is an age old battle. The way we look at it is either way we are racing and enjoying ourselves, at this point in time what difference does it make. A racer that says he will only race one one way or the other is not much of a racer in my book. We have the option now of racing either way, when we started out we did not have nor did we want that option. If it meant my car had to set in a garage with garage dust all over it or have it come come home with that marvelous Haubdtsadt engineered dirt or that Chandler River Bottom Dirt on it I would beg borrow or steal a wing>>> if that is what they wanted for me to race with.

AND you are right>>>> lets race what the crowd out front wants us to race. They make it possible for that other guy to write us a check.

Honest Dad himself
