It would be really unfair to the midget people to place their butt ugly cars with the beautiful bugeyes. After all there are bugeye sprites and then there are spridgets (parts for your bugeye at best

FWIW, I think that in an MG sponsored show, the MG's should be in their own classes, ie B's rubber bumper B's, A's, and midgets. In the shows that are sponsored by other organizations, since we all h

At a lot of shows, Spridgets are grouped together. And I don't mind it at all. But if you are in it for a trophy, a ratty red Bugeye will beat a concours mustard yellow RB Midget. For me, PIECES is a
