Here in Australia Midgets are known as Speedcars and are no different to what is raced in the USA.

"Speedcars" are midgets. That's just the name for them down under. Many midgets were built in the United States and shipped to Australia and New Zealand. Drivers and owners took cars there and sold them before they returned, some making a handsome profit.

A.J. builds FSC chassis for midgets and upright mini sprints. They seem to be really really good cars. His house cars have won or ran up front in some pretty big races in the last couple years, and the guys with his mini sprints swear there is no other way to go. To my knowledge he does very little if any driving these days, and I am 99.9% sure there is no relation between he and Andrew.
