The racing in the Midwest Lightning Sprints is fiercely competitive.  With low-cost maintenance and motorcycle power, this is still the most economical way to go fast in a race car.  These cars are 1 1/2 seconds a lap faster than an A Mod or a Late Model.  New drivers/cars are coming out each week.  Contact the MLS for info.
