Thanks to you guys for doing this, too hard for me to make weekday shows owning my own business so this makes it noce. Enjoyed the last broadcast from there, racing was pretty good. Looks like there is still hope for Speedrome midget racing!

I appreciate that we get to watch live mid week. It gives me something to do on Wed. night. I think the racing was much better last event there, tonight seemed to be a one groove race track and the winners all started in the front. I can't decide if I like the midgets racing there or not.....

No difference, and no starters. The only one that uses a starter is Fuhrman, and he is running a cycle engine, I think.

Thanks, but the top 3 had starters last night at speedrome. after victory lane the fired up and left the track. I wonder why more of the local teams dont go out there and race at speedrome then. Do they just not pay enough or what?

Don't quote me on this, or try to cash the check, but I think what you are seeing, is a mix of the three "classes", the Focus, and the Kenyon's have starters, the "normal" Regional Midgets" have other power plants, which usually aren't easy to adapt starters to. Bob

Nope, the regional midgets are "normal" push off midgets. The top three in the midget division were pushed off the track by ATVs. Last night they also had Ford Focus midgets on the ticket, and they are self starting. I would guess that is what you saw fire off on there one and drive away, as they always have their own feature event.

If a car started on its own last night from victory lane it was either our Ford Focus series or our Focus Young Guns. Both series which utilize the same engine/clutch package have starters.

The only class competing last night which did not was our Regional Midgets.

For those who have not had the opportunity to make it to a race at the Speedrome next week is your last opportunity.
