Badger Announces New Racing Class

EBAY · 9/21/10, 6:06 PM

This is fresh from the Badger website:

Sept 21,2010... A 600cc Micro Sprint class will be introduced in 2011
by the Badger Auto Racing Association. This popular yet
affordable class will expand the appeal of open wheel racing by
opening the door for a younger generation starting as early as age
twelve. BMARA will run the 600cc Micros in conjunction with the
midget shows as well as some stand alone shows. More information
will be coming soon. Please check back as we will release details
as they become available.

A rule book is being developed and should be completed in October. If
you have any questions or comments please contact Quinn McCabe
847-840-1344 or John Callahan 262-857-9477.

Promoting a feeder series like Powr I. Hope this is successful and opens up some doors for some younger racers to get involved. It seems to have worked for Powr I as their car counts are good. Good luck on this endeaver.

I like this Idea but sure wish they would do it without wings so they CAN develop driver talent.
This would make them so VERY much more attractive to the traditionol midget fan. This I think would make it so very much more challenging, exciting, entertaining & less follow the leader.

Might be a good idea but the timing is bad. Why create a feeder type series when the main focus of midget racing in Wisconsin is in dire straits? It's like trying to patch a bullet wound with a band aid.
