1. A square bumper is much harder to get spun out! I have seen a conventional tank with a square bumper. That was ugly.
2. If you change a rule start with the limiting the size of the front bumpers.
3. As one mentioned many of the mini-sprints had square tanks under a cover, one had the fuel tank in front of the rear wheels.
4. Midgets were always the home for new ideas. I love the appearance of the Moore and Gamester cars, but real midgets were innovative. Leffler had a locking rear end once, Cornell had a car with no front frame. About every car had a different kind of engine. Like the #10 & 88 MWR cars. That was what midgets were about, especially indoors.
