I race these things

However their not all Ford sedans. Mine looks like this.

 

so, you're a midget, huh?

 

Is it a go-kart with a body over it?

Dude... somebody done stole yer tires!

I like "midgets" and "Legends" racing... always wanted to build one.

 

Its a Microstock. 8' bumper to bumper, 5HP Briggs flathead and lots of fun.

When I was a kid a 3/4 midget crashed and the driver got out. I kept elbowing my Dad and saying "hey that guy aint a midget!".

This is one of the most retro and owned by the guy who first invented the Microstock concept. It flipped at an indoor race at AC. This p***ed Jan.

 

Oh man are these cool.

 

More like a riding lawnmower with a body on it.!

Looks like it's fun as hell!

A couple years ago I was looking at riding mowers at Home Depot thinking how much I didn't need one for my less than 3000 sq ft patch of lawn and I dreamed up "Racing Lawnmowers!"
Then I googled them and found out them good ole boys in the South East had benn raacing them for years...

 

Yep They even televise the races occasionally. Those ****ers haul ***!

 

That looks awesome. Baker theatre is a 2 minute bike ride from my house. Any idea where the old track used to be?

 

This is from njrn.com.

Dover Speedway - Dover, NJ

1/2-mile dirt oval
(6/11/33 to 1935, 7/4/47 to 1952 and 6/12/54 to 7/10/54)

Located on US 46 (on the East side of town, next to the Dover Tank & Stack
Company).

Microstocks never raced there. But, they did get there start at Pine Brook Speedway (now a Home Depot)

Huh, that's gotta be back behind the blockbuster. Only place I can think of that'd fit all that. I knew that big empty lot on 46 too. The s**** yard is on the other side. Never knew what it was.
