Re: Aluminum v6 midget

Midgets of the 50's, 60's, and 70's all had narrower tires, smaller circumference tires, and harder tires. They did not have specialized high-dollar shocks either. The engines produced over 100 less...

Re: Aluminum v6 midget

How would you go about enforcing a rule mandating "junkyard motors?" Should the owner be allowed to rebuild his...

Re: D2 Midget Engines - Here We Go

Well X, if Wayne really did call you and tell you that I talked to him, he is either a liar or he is delusional.

Delusional: "Having false or unrealistic beliefs or opinions."

Re: D2 Midget Engines - Here We Go

Jason, what I was trying to point out here goes deeper than just the $6000 engine management system. The point is, the people who wrote the D-2 rules overlooked this, among other things. When are...

Re: D2 Midget Engines - Here We Go

Dad, if the rules say 166 cubic inches, then I’m fine with checking bore and stroke. If the rules say “stock,” I’m not ok with a simple bore and stroke check. If the rules say no machining, grinding,...

Re: Brickyard Attendance

Unfortunately, Nascar has created a new type of "race fan" who expects to see a 20+ car crash on the last lap. When that doesn't happen, they consider the entire race "boring."
