MMSA members and other 1,000 cc upright mini sprint racers in the midwest, lets support the "RUMBLE" in Ft. Wayne, The MMSA affiliation has already led to a race date at the famous

Eldora Speedway, a high car count at the RUMBLE could have a positive affect on securing more race dates at other major tracks in the area and continuation of participation in the Rumble
This event will provide a high degree of exposure to area track promoters and potential sponsors, something very much needed for all upright mini sprint racers. I urge you, as racers to take advantage of this opportunity to advance the future of the sport, we are on the threshold of major growth, I can't overstate the importance and influence of the promoters, Larry Boos and Tony Barhorst may have on future events.

As announced at the MMSA Banquet, the MMSA will have a very busy schedule for 2012, 25 races or so, Highlighted by the race at Eldora, Mini Sprint Week, possible revival of Mini Sprint Mania weekend and return to Brownstown and Twin Cities for several races, plus some others, Keep in mind the 2012 membership fee is $75 if paid by December 31, 2011, $85 after that date

I will attempt to have 90% of the schedule out by Dec. 24th.

A very "MERRY CHRISTMAS" wish goes out to everyone,

The MMSA has a tentative date at one of the most famous dirt tracks in the country,

Sat. August 11, 2012  "ELDORA"  Speedway and depending on the results (satisfaction of track officials) we could return in late October for a multi division event.

More details in the near future.

The MMSA thanks the 40 people who attended the Banquet on Sunday afternoon, A special thanks to the trophy sponsors, RPM Racecraft (Ryan McDonald)

Bradley Excavating  (Steve Bradley) and others who donated all the gifts, Speed Partz, (Larry Fasse )  Hooiser tires, American Racer tires, Speedway Motors, Dad's muffler & Mensendiek Auction House for the  "T" shirts and fine hospitality from Nathan & Charlie.

Tony Barhorst was in attendance to promote the 1,000cc mini sprint portion of the "Rumble in Ft. Wayne" using MMSA rules.

The 2011 season was reviewed and 2012 potential schedule was highlighted with several major events to be announced.

Rule changes were announced, no. 1 being that Raceceivers will be mandatory in 2012, no. 2. making the use of Quickchange rearend optional for 2012 (rule to be reviewed at the end of 2012)

If q/c's are used, the drive shaft must be located in the center of the chassis, the motor must be inside the chassis and have operational clutch and starter, meet existing motor and weight rules.

The race tech will continue to consist of measuring bore & stroke and weighing, however, if the protest rule is applied the part protested will be inspected, if determined NOT to be legal it will be disqualified. The motor rules were made to discourage the high cost of after mkt. internal parts, alcky conversion was/is allowed to prolong motor life, not to gain an advantage in performance.

The MMSA would like to express our thanks to the 72 different drivers who raced with us at least once during the 2011 season and the 8-10 TQ's Guys too, for their Shoot out and Funfest participation.
