A bit long, but you can see a variety of Midgets buzzing along.

Nope. I'm a rule follower ... never got over 70mph and didn't pass unless well into the straight.
 
I was in your video Trevor at exactly the 2 minute mark. That is me on over on the side when the fuel pump quit. I got it going again and kept it floored pretty much from then on out because I was alone on the track. After the second lap I realized how much more grip I had from the rubber on the track and it was amazing. The back end was no longer loose and I was barely backing off the throttle for the curves. I ma trying to get my video to upload. I got one where I had the gas pedal jammed from way before the last turn all the way through the front straight in 3rd gear the whole way.
 
you pass me at 10 minutes exactly
 
It took me over two hours to upload one video, so here it is. I don't know if its Bellsouth or this computer or what, but I am not happy. Anyways, this is after the fuel pump situation and I was determined to blow it up down the front stretch and pass everything that wasn't a corvette :wink: The more stick the tires got and it was no longer loose the braver I got.
Yellow spridget starting at turn 14
 
Nice video. I didn't take the corners too fast because there was a lot of sight seeing going on (myself included). My tires had gotten VERY sticky by the end and they were almost completely coated with gravel after I went across the pull off.
 
Great video! I was in the old Mini that you might see in some of them.

If you want to see almost as many Spridgets, but in full vintage race trim, come on back in September. The weather should have cooled off by then, and the trees started turning.
