And Dad, I get your point on clearances, tollerances etc. They are making stock equptment that holds up better than a lot of racing stuff.

I've said for years that Midget racing should go to them small v6s of the 70s, early eighties that ford and chevy had in their vegas and capri's I blew many a small block chevy off the road 0-60 in my 76 Capri and then they would gain and pull away.

These new motors are light years ahead of them little motors. Remember the little aluminum V8 GM put in the Olds Cutlas in the 60's? They ran pretty good in the midgets can't remember off hand who raced them. Then we had Bettehausen with his Falcon Midget or Porsche Midget. Midget. Racers experimented back in the past. Now they get their check book and a grocery cart and buy everything ready Made. Too bad all the check books are drying up.
