We had a very enjoyable weekend watching the midgets at Montpelier. Both nights were action packed. A great entertainment value for just $10. The other classes also put on a good show. Thanks to all who were responsible for making this show happen. I hope you are able to build on this and make it an annual affair. Looking forward to seeing more midget shows this year as well.

I think there were only 2 of us with Mini Sprints. I believe Tyler Ransbottom in the #44 made the A main both nights. I didn't fare so well breaking a right front shock Friday and a rock became wedged under the throttle pedal Saturday night in the b main. It was a great time and very humbling experience for the little guy like me and I felt privileged to get to go up against some of the best teams and drivers in the country. Thank you to everyone involved with this great event!!!

There were only 2 wingless Minis entered each night. Tyler Ransbottom was the highest finishing Mini.
On the first night, he started 20th in the A Main and finished a very respectable 13th.
On the 2nd night, he raced his way from the back of the B Main up to the last transfer stop where mechanical issues ended his progress. I believe I heard he had a piece of mud stuck in the throttle.
I'm working on doing my part to up the Mini Sprint count, but little "issues" keep cropping up; if everything goes perfectly I'll be there for the 20th. More likely ol' 97 will get her first laps in on May 5th.
It seemed like the pre-season buzz was pointing towards several Mini Sprints running this year; is everybody in the same shape as me? If so, hopefully the end is sight...
