The first question would have to be where do you live and how much time can you spend getting to a race?

The next question is what is a mini-sprint? We race what I like to call 1000cc midgets. They are real midget sized chassis powered by 1000cc motorcycles engines. You can choose between racing with the AMSA and MMSA,or both. Both race centeral Indiana and some Ohio. A google search will get you their schedules.

Then we have the sidewinder cars, smaller, lighter, more plentiful but they are more like overpowered go karts in the way the driver sits in the car and the react. They race up north at 24 raceway in Logansport In (They are good people) and west at Linton In.

Looks like MMSA will be at Twin cities Racewaypark next Sat And Sunday, Drive over get a pit pass and come over and visit. If the racers are not too busy racing I'm sure they would be glad to visit with you and give you their views on racing.

If you want to take a trip north Plymouth Speedway will be running 600 Wing Mini Sprint class along with MOWA 410 Wing Sprints for the Joe Gaerte Classic this Saturday. Should be a great show with both classes. The front stretch has had 25' more clay added to the Bullring. Looking forward to a great show this weekend with hot laps at 6:00 and racing at 7:00.

The Honda rr, or the Yamaha r6. Run a bone stock motor on alcohol with Don Guhl injection.

Go micro sprint. A few less places to race weekly right now so you don't travel as much, but you have a lot less ********, BS, and bickering.
