Limiting choices, and innovators, choke racing. Look at how it has effected Indy Car.....and nascar even.
I do hope the rules meeting is productive. There are only so many of these cars nationwide, common ground needs to be found so everyone can race together when they have the opportunity.

There will always be "the motor to have", many of the new snowmobile use a motor similar to the 1000cc we race with today minus the tranny. The guys up in Montpelier are on to something, I would like to run the Southern Indiana franchise.
One thousand cc cars and midgets race real well together on smaller tracks. I think the 1400cc bike motors with their slightly more torque but slightly down on Horse Power would do real well racing with older midgets.
