Combine an open cockpit
and upright seat with a small lightweight chassis and then bolt on as much
horsepower as you can squeeze into a compact engine. The result is a pure racing
machine built for heart stopping, wheel-to-wheel action. These cars are at home
on both paved and dirt surfaces.
Midget racing dates back to the 1930's and the basic concept has always been
the same. Place the greatest amount of power on the smallest frame possible and
put on an exciting show. The small size of these machines, combined with their
power-toweight ration (2.5 pounds per horsepower), makes them perfect for oval
tracks that are half mile and smaller in length. But, turn them loose on a larger
track and the speeds can reach over 150 mph, making them attractive for almost
any racing facility of 1 mile or less.
