Umra- king of the tq midgets
 

Immediate Release:
The board of directors for the Umra-King of the tq midgets have decided on the following enigne rules these rules will be in effect from 2017-2020.
The 2017 rules are any 636cc motor will be allowed to compete that the manufactured date is not newer than 2016. No motors newer than 2016 will until the 2020 year season. All present motors are allowed thru next year.
Starting in 2016 the honda 836 motors will be allowed to go to 917cc. This rule applies to the 750 honda motors only.This rule will be allowed thru the 2020 season. In the event that the honda motor is better than expected, weight may be added to balance the field.

The 636 engine package must remain stock bore and stroke.

All motors that are presently legal for 2016 will be allowed to compete thru the 2020 season. Those motors that are grandfathered are those that are already built 700 cc and below and ran last season. These motors that are under 700cc but are not stock bore and stroke, will be allowed to run, but will have a added weight rule starting at the start of the 2017 racing season. The individuals that ran these motors last year will be the only ones allowed no new motors bigger than 636 cc stock bore and stroke will be allowed.


Theses rules are being used to keep racing down thru the 2020 season.

The racing banquet is scheduled for Saturday January 30th, 2016 at the Indiana Grand Casino, at 6:30pm . More details will be forthcoming. The board of directors for 2016 are Randy Literal, Danny Percell, and Larry Martz.

Thanks

Sounds like a plan! Early start, should give everyone time to be ready. Bob

Tq29m are you Bob mcclure. If so i would like to talk to you I have one of your cars and the driveline is yours to and the adapter part that mounts to the motor plate is broke so I am not able to run my Sanders drive line stuff

Way to alienate current and future cars by solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Are you sure you guys don't work for the federal government?

Sounds like they're trying to maintain a fair playing field and keep costs reasonable.seems like a good idea to try something.If some want to spend bigger money and have bigger engines,maybe they should move up to a bigger class.

That's garbage and the tq owners and drivers know it. If that was 100% TRULY THE CASE then do like countless other tq groups have done for 4 valve technology: cap it at 750cc. A stout Honda 836 will run just fine against a 750. This ruling hurts everything because now you either have to dump a crap ton of money into a 600 or 636 (think driveline parts not the engine) or go out and spend big bucks to make your 836 even bigger.

This is a no brainer Eaglin boys: ya done stepped in it, while walking in the wrong direction.

You say do what countless tq series have done name them because there not around anymore so king of tqs trying also if not a problem why is a lot of drivers switching to the 636 and name all the drivers that won this year with 750 against the 636.

It is very evident that someone (jontheturboguy) has his head jammed up his posterior.Countless other tq associations?????Start naming them them.You must have your eyes shut at the races.It is obvious that the New engines are a lot faster than the old 750 Hondas!!!!

Western States tq USAC
Nmra
Florida tq
New Zealand
Australia tq

USAC hasn't sanctioned a T.Q. Midget series for many years out west, the east coast guys are totally a different animal with the offset engines, etc., I have heard T.Q. racing is pretty much dead in Florida and already died in Illinois. As far as down under; this is the U.S. We here in Indiana are the last of a great class and if it dies here, It's over! We need to do all we can to preserve this class, and the great history which was started by U.M.R.A. in 1961 when Mel Harpring took home the first title! I have moved on to Sprint Cars many seasons ago, but still love to jump in a T.Q. from time to time or go watch! Let's stop the negative and look at what Terry Eaglin is trying to do! He is trying to keep T.Q. Midget racing alive!
