No transmissions and no chain drives. By defination a midget is direct drive with a rear end gear. Some very old timers will argue that a long time ago some midgets were chain driven, those days are gone.
No claimers and no spec engines. Innovation can reduce the cost of these motors...

For the life of me I dont understand why chain driven is a bad thing. The new chains hardly stretch at all and if you have it set up correct theres no reason it would ever come off. Also its so much lighter, not to mention less expensive. I bet not one person in the stands gives a crap whats turning the rear wheels. It doesnt matter what they used to run, it's what should be allowed now, thats the issue. Bottom line is if you plan on having a midget you better have the bucks.
