We need someone to come in and set down a simple non politically motivated set of rules to race under, and one that could used by other local groups to base their rules off of.

PS . Trendy are you taking in Boarders? I may get deported.
Actually ARDC, USAC and PowrI national are very much the same rules as far as the car and engine is......I don't care what they are called as long as the rules are the same and don't do like tracks do and make the rules so you have to stay racing with them and them only....
Biggest thing I'm up against down here is "WHERE CAN I GO TO BUY A CAR LIKE THIS?" Well you can get a used midget roller buy and ecotec engine, put it in or one with a out of date focus engine or USAC new Honda engine or a lightning sprint with a 1000cc (built/not built/1200?)..See where I'm going with this Bill...if they where all the same buying and RESELL would be much much easier....
You are very damn correct...We need a non political party or body to step in and say....
Here are the rules for all parties to adapt to without any bickering. There are about 10 groups East of the Mississippi along with 7-8 with similar rules west of the Mississippi...
1 thought is:... say 18 groups under 1 big umbrella, after my research on doing this Gator "DIRT" Nationals there are somewhere in the neighborhood of over 400 of these cars (Winged/Non Wing Mini/Lightning Sprints/Ecotec/Duratec/Focus/Honda/Quad 4/Sportsman/Lite/Midgets) out there...AND GROWING....Just on DIRT!!!... That is alot of clout and if we all stood united together with 1 common goal and a uniformed set of rules...WOW....
OK I woke up...having a fantasy there Bill, sorry....America was built on dreams..Hell I'm racing a dream and there is room for everybody...We do this for the love and Passion for the sport (or at least I do) and have not made a dime as a driver/car owner/promoter but I have been able to keep my nose just out of the water and continue the dream.
I am in hope with all that is coming to Florida we can look back and say we raced against the best of all the clubs and series that will be here and we can talk about coming back next year maybe with and even a more uniformed set of rules.
This 2015 Gator "DIRT" Nationals will tell everyone alot as far as who/what/can be competitive with each other.
So people do understand I am a retired-disabled man and spend a hell of a lot of time on this computer gathering data for each series whether it be:
DMA (Dirt Midget Assoc), PowrI Outlaw Midgets, ELS (Empire Lightning Sprints) SideWinders of Pa., USAC Focus East, SSMS (me), MMSA (Midwest Mini Sprints), SOMS (Southern Ohio Mini Sprints), AMSA (American Mini Sprints), ILLS (Illinois Lightning Sprints), IMRA (Illinois Midget Racing), IRS (Illini Racing Series), MLS (Midwest Lightning Sprints), Kenyon Midgets, WIMS (Wisconsin Illinois Mini Sprints), RMLSA (Rocky Mountain Lightning Sprint Assoc), RMMRA (Rocky Mountain Midget Racing Assoc), CLS (California Lightning Sprints), WDM (Washington Dirt Midgets) or the National midgets. We are all together in this and need to be UNITED together.....I know most will say "Blow it out your ass old man" but again one can dream...Thanks for reading..
Look at what happens when you stand UNITED for a common cause!!
