Just a few days away from the Montpelier Midget Finale. It should be a great race with a great points battle between Billy Wease and Blake Edwards who are currently tied in points.
I've received several questions in regards to the class. Mini-Sprints, Focus, and Echotech cars are legal to race in this class. You receive an unlimited weight break along with additional 2" of rim width. Their is NOT a seperate (lower) payout for these cars. We pay you as if you are a full production Midget. Also, fans and teams please consider supporting the Indiana Midget series this weekend. Great fan and car turnout helps me to set up our off-season plans and the direction we can take the series in the future. |

I am planning to attend this week as I really enjoyed the program and facility a couple weeks ago when I was there. Fun race track and all the racers seemed to like it as well.

Jim Jones Motorsports is thrashing to get the #97 Doemelt/Bailey/Leader's Edge/Spike-GSXR1127 Montpelier Midget buttoned up for its' long-awaited maiden voyage this Saturday, in preparation for a full-season campaign next year. If his effort to get out on the track is successful, the 61-year-old Jones will turn his first-ever laps in competition after several years crewing, wheel packing and hotlapping other people's TQ's at his hometown track at Ventura, California and the legendary Ascot Park, as well as completing the Intermediate course at Corey Kruseman's Sprint Car School. The transplanted Californian now makes his home within walking distance of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and credits his Able-Bodied Pit Doll, wife Adrienne (AJ) Jones for giving him the physical and moral support he needed to finally realize a life-long dream. Jim would also like to thank the following for advice, encouragement, expertise and materials that are all finally coming together this weekend:
Patrick Mead, Greg Watson, Rob Winks, Joe & Linsey Ligouri, Leader's Edge, Speedpartz, Bailey Chassis, Spike Chassis, Hyper Racing, TQ Fiberglass, Saldana Racing Products, SET Racing and Earl's Indy.

To quote Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein: "IT...COULD...WORK!!!"
Clean up the wiring harness, mount the spark box, plumb & bleed the brakes, put on the chain, shocks, air cleaner, cage nets. Set her on the ground, set the ride heights & weights. Fill her with oil and a splash of fuel. Climb in, main power on, hit the button, watch for oil pressure, turn on the fuel (one Mississippi, two Mississippi), light the fire... Taking a vacation day tomorrow to finish the punch list. Wish me luck!
