Vintage Midgets
Vintage Midgets celebrate the storied history of Midget racing. The Midget racers are from a bygone era of open cockpit, no roll cage, open cockpit Midget racing. Vintage Midgets were the pre-cursor to today’s modern and safer contemporary Midgets, racing on much narrower tires and featuring an array of homebuilt racing engines, ranging from Chevy II inline four-cylinder engines, to race-specific Offenhauser (Offy) Midget engines, to a number of now rarely seen engines like Elto 4-60 outboard power plants and other cycle engines to the then popular Ford V8-60 engines.
Popular chassis builders from bygone eras include Frank Kurtis (Kurtis Kraft), George Benson (Benson) and a flock of others. The early days of Midget racing were run on rail frame.
