I'm just kinda wondering if any of y'all are into mini sprints. For those who don't know, a mini sprint is a small sprint car powered by either a 600 or 1000+cc crotch rocket engine. I used to race full-sized sprints, and while they are a blast to drive, they can blast your wallet in a hurry, so I've been thinking about a mini. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

I raced mini and 360 sprints on dirt for a couple of years. The money between mini and 360 sprints are about the same. Maybe only about $200-$300 diffrence mainly from the tires. The biggest diffrence was the time to rebuild the sprints. I could completely rebuild a mini in just over 3 hours and ready to race. A 360 sprint took me about 6 hours to be ready to race. Lately I have been hearing there is just about the same amout of money if not more in the mini sprints on dirt. I am only talking about racing on dirt. I tried racing on asfault but it was boring. I ran a street stock in 3 races. I won 2 features and 1 2nd place. It was just so boring. I am a dirt boy and that is where I will always race if I ever decide to get back into it.
