Never met this Jay Tinder fellow, does he have a background in midget racing?

The sheriff I'll be more than glad to meet you at Logansport on April the 16th. What is your name so I know whom you are?

I'd imagine it being tough to start a new series.
I like where he's going with it and I wish him luck. His rules seem pretty good too and he will work with you to try to get the machine you have into the series instead of having to upgrade to something you might not want.
My car would be there for sure if we were a bit closer, and we hope to come out for a couple weekends later in the season.

The

Jay Tender is in fact Jay Tinder. In the past Jay has worked with the MMSA Mini Sprints in several capacities. He has been instrumental in the past securing several Mini Sprint shows and the first D2 Midget race ever to be held at the Du quoin Mini Magic Mile Indoor race track. Jay has stepped in to provide support for the fledgling D2 class here in the Indian and the Mid west east of Illinois. I have know him for several years now and he is an OK guy. He has taken on an oversize job for very little reward other than knowing he has done something to further the popularity of D2 Racing in America...Wayne Davis, Jay Tinder and John Murdock and several other guys have stepped up to help get this idea off the ground. It ain't going to take off right off the bat and all of these guys are going to need both moral support and plain old physical support from you racers to make this thing work.

Now in the way of introductions My name is really Bill Jones, Jay Tender is Jay Tender. What is your name? Have we met?
