In 2003 the midget featured on this website underwent a full restoration and updating to safely run at speed at vintage events.
Details of that restoration are featured on this web site.

A SECOND FULL RESTORATION was started July 2011 (and is presently underway) this time to accurately depict the midget as it ran in 1983 - the year it was driven to the ARDC Championship by the Scrivani team with Nokie Fornoro at the wheel.

Once the current restoration has been completed this web site will also be totally redone featuring both the 2003 as well as
the 2011 restoration. Stay tuned.

You can follow us on Facebook until this web site is updated...
Welcome

Thanks for stopping by the home to Mike Scrivani's 1983 Championship winning Edmunds Midget driven by Nokie Fornoro, Hank Rogers Jr. and a few others...

Introduction

This web site had been assembled to chronicle the rebirth of a Champion. The featured 1983 Edmunds Midget was built and campaigned by "Iron" Mike Scrivani Sr. and his son Mike Scivani Jr. and driven to the 1983 ARDC Championship as car #1 by Nick Fornoro Jr. The car was also very successfully campaigned by Mike Scrivani and driven by Hank Rogers Jr. in 1984, 86 and 87. (We are still putting together a complete ownership / driver list).

We took possession of the car April 7, 2002 after it had sat in a garage for many years. In August of 2003 we restored the car and did some updating so that it could run safely at current vintage events. A FOLLOW-UP RESTORATION is presently underway (started July 2011) to completely restore the car back to how it ran in 1983 when it won the Championship.

As such we are in need of a few things namely:

- PHOTOS OF THE CAR FROM 1983, IN PARTICULAR OF THE HOOD & DASH
- A EARLY 1980s CARRERA COILOVER SHOCK THAT WE CAN USE AS A TEMPLATE
- THE COVER FOR THE RR ADJUSTER
- A COMPLETE LIST OF WHO OWNED THE CAR / WHEN AND WHO DROVE THE CAR / WHEN

Please contact us ASAP if you can be of any assistance:

- Now Available !!! - Quality Reproduced "American Racing Drivers Club" (ARDC) Decal

Reproduced Decal (click to enlarge)

Original Decal (click to enlarge)


You just have to see this decal in person. My decal vendor has outdone herself. This decal is an exact replica of the original. And this is not applied by soaking it in water like the original, this decal is high quality vinyl with a outdoor life of 5 - 7 years. Every vintage ARDC car should be carrying one of these decals. I am selling these at cost, $15.00 + shipping. I have personally paid the artwork fee already, all you need to pay for is the generation of the decal. We will make several at a time as soon as enough orders come in to justify. These are custom made. We will not be making 50 or 100 upfront.

To inquire further about the decal, please email me, Brian Watson at brianwatson@watsonracingteam.com

My plan is to carry a sample with me to events so you can see it in person. FYI - the decal is not square, it is oval just like the original!

EARLIER ARDC DECAL COMING SOON...
 

Also available - Quality Reproduced "Autocraft" Decal


Attention Vintage Race Car Restorers - If you are currently restoring or have restored a midget with an Autocraft power plant and are missing the well known decal which adorned the air cleaner mud deflectors - your search is over. This unavailable decal is NOW AVAILABLE!

This decal has been professionally recreated on our cutting edge computers then professionally printed. Due to the unknown market for this decal, orders to the printer are on a per request basis. We do not make any money on this - this is simply being offered as a service to assist is making your restoration project as period correct as we hope ours will be.

Technical Information From Printer: "The decals are outdoor durable, UV resistant and clear-coatable (if desired). The black used is a standard black and will be "resin printed" on a white 5-7 year vinyl (adhesive backed). I have the ability to perfectly reproduce decals in multi-color and use shiny gold and silvers as a decal might require."
