All the PPC-A.M.S.A. Lightning Mini Sprints let all go over and support this race. The payout is a great one. So if you can make it. lets go racing.

Oh you know we'll be there! Looks like we're already at 20+ cars with ILSS cars and a couple confirmed WI/IN drivers.

Don't knock chains until you try them "OK". Some of the most creative race car minds in the business at one time or another have used chain drive to their advantage. The "Indy 500" was once won by a chain drive car. Ralph Potter built a chain drive "VW" powered midget and modeled after one of his legendary Quarter midgets that was enough to make USAC come up with a rule to ban them from racing. Ron Ambrose had a chain drive "TQ" that dominated the UMRA to a point that they saw fit to ban them also.

Seems to me like you you might be experiencing a "sour grape attitude" towards chains because you have not been allowed to implement such a brilliant drive system in any of your race cars.

My comment was just me joking around. I've got 2 new mini sprint(1200) chassis setting in the shop that I just built for a couple of guys

When we ran at wilmot saturday the count seemed to be fairly good for 5-10 of them to be coming down.
