Thanks, some of this is just me fighting off oldtimers disease, part of it is the old school teacher in me and the rest is a passion for the little cars we refer to as Mini Sprint or Midget.

Times are a changing. Cycle motors in low mileage 2012 and up are drying up and prices are going up. Mini Sprinters are starting to get like other racing organizations, thinking just like our government that there is nothing that they can't fix with enough rules. Midget racing is killing it self with too many rules to try to keep the old technology in play, all the time disregarding the nose on their face that Japan, Detroit and even the Germans are developing power plants that could be very easily be made to work in a Midget at a fraction of what it is costing now.

I am working on "AJ" right now and perhaps if enough bright young back yard wizards read these posts we might between all of us come up with something that works.
