CUSTOM MIDGET CLUB AT LITTLE T LATEST TO JOIN USAC’S MOPAR .25 MIDGET FAMILY

 


“Little T Speedway,” located on the grounds of the famed Thompson (Conn.) Speedway, will serve as home to USAC’s newest Mopar .25 Midget member club, the “Custom Midget Club.”

“Obviously we are pleased to have Custom Midget Club on board for 2011,” adds USAC Developmental Racing Director James Spink. “USAC has a deep tradition of racing in the northeast and this expansion adds another dimension to our Mopar .25 Midget operations.”
