My midget racer

*disclosure: this is shameless campaigning.* Some of you may have seen my midget before. Well, it's been nominated for Hooniversal Car of the Year at Hooniverse.com. It has come down to a two horse race between the midget and a Mercedes Benz Unimog. The Unimog is getting a ton of support from the Mercedes message boards. Unfortunately, there isn't a vintage midget message board, so I turned to the HAMB.

Click here to vote. There is no registration required, just a simple click at the bottom of the post (but above the comments).

I figured this crowd could appreciate a late '30s midget racer.

Here is a link to the midget backstory and the build blog.

There are some great vehicles and some even better stories in the contest.

The Unimog:

 

The vote count is currently 145 to 125 for the Unimog.

Do it for America!

 

Don't usually vote for stuff, but I am patriotic, and do like the Midget too.

 

looks like the midget is doin' well 166 so far

Wow, thanks everyone!

The midget was a labor of love and it's now more fun than I ever expected it to be. I only wish my grandfather had seen it before he p***ed.

Voted, cool car.

 

Once again, thanks for the support! The midget doesn't neccesarily fit in here with its drivetrain, but the rest of it certainly does.
