Getting started in Midgets....

Hi guys,

Having enjoyed myself at MG Live this weekend, i am smitten with Midget racing.

I am gonna start looking at getting one. As a rookie, what sort of thing should i be looking out for, and what is a decent price? Ideally it would be race-ready, or require little work to hit the track.

Im sure i will have lots more questions to add to this.

Cheers.

Pete

Peat, glad you enjoyed MGLive. I was promoted to the Montego in the 2-driver on the Saturday, and my usual mount is a Midget. I'll PM you with some links, but you could start here:

http://www.mgmidgetchallenge.co.uk/

There's loads of other places, but I won't clutter up the forum, much to the delight of the non-MGers (yes, there are some...)

BTW, it's fun on a reasonable budget :-)
