I saw this thing a few months ago and checked out the site. While I do think it has potential I have to wonder if we really need another midget class? Couldn't you just use this engine to compete against the Focus? As I said earlier, I like the potential of a cheaper car (chassis, motor, tires) but who has the cash to buy all new? Any thoughts?

Here's the link.... and I do not think we need another "entry" level division. Focus Midgets started that way, and quickly went from a combo car to specialized cars for asphalt and for dirt. But then, racers always find a way to spend MORE money.....

And personally, I think it's kind of ugly... but then that's my opinion...

thanks I was previlage enough to know Dave Bradway JR. He will always be my favorite driver. I got that opportunity when he drove for my cousin Jack McAfee in the number 82. That was the car Dave put upside down in turn 4 at Calistoga. Needless to say that wasnt clean water in there. lol Dave said he washed that uniform 5-7 times, and still couldnt get the smell out. Thanks for recgonizing the pic. That is Clyde Lamars Tri-C 3c machine.

Yeah, Dave will ALWAYS be greatly missed. I never really knew him, but I too was fortunate enough to see him race a few times. Great story about Calistoga! He was a great talent. It's cool that he gets honored every year at Silver Dollar. The McMahan brothers had some great success in Clyde's Tri-C machine too, but that's a different story..........

One more thing. I think I could do without that little wing.
