It's actually a new creation from Tobias. I believe it is a spec series called SpeedSTR. Also, Mopar is part of the deal with spec engines. You can find out more by going to this link...

Basically, it's not a normal midget and you won't be seeing them running with USAC, etc.

Thanks for informing me.

Tobias always seems to dance to the beat of a different drummer. I like that.

They kind of look like JJ Yeley's Mopar Million Car a couple of years ago!

Think it'd go over a lot better than the Mini's. Just my opinion.

I think they would make a wonderful replacement for the tin-tops

Beautiful?? Thats not an adjective I'd use to discribe it...

Again just ANOTHER way for racers to spend money on another class. Anyone remember the original idea behind the Focus Midgets? One car for dirt/asphalt quickly morphed into practically requiring two cars - one for asphalt, one for dirt.

Between the 600's, TQ's, Kenyon Midgets, Focus, regular midgets and 305, 360, 410 winged and non-winged, don't we have enough variety and ways to spend money - already?

Plus some local or regional "sportsman" type classes.
