I still find it disturbing that they ran the V8 Aussies out of the building. Those were awesome cars that, at the time, were legal in Australia Midget racing. No different than Mel & Don Kenyon's V8 Suzuki from the mid-80s that ran in USAC. But because Hahn was scared of someone putting a 410 V8 in a Midget they told them not to come back? Write some rules and you don't have to worry about things like that.

Any track or racing organization worth their salt would limit in-season changes to safety or procedure rules only. Car and engine rules should always be locked for at least one season.

It is my understanding they dqed the engine. Not the car. "Its not a midget engine" was the explanation. I suppose if he wanted (and had more than 3 weeks notice) to shove an Esslinger, Subaru, or Volkswagen in it they would have to make a new rule to dq him

Stock block? Stock head? Based on a stock block or head? Purposed build from scratch is okay, but can’t have come from a motorcycle? |

I was under the impression that car was powered by a Suzuki Hayabusa Eng. I seen it run out there for a couple of years, and on certain tracks it was very competitive. The Hayabusa was the fastest production motorcycle for years with top speeds of 312 mph! Check out the u tube video of a jet ski with a Hayabusa engine in it.

That would make zero sense. I can see making an argument against a car that is chain driven but they have no business disallowing a car based on the engine alone. Who cares if it is derived from a motorcycle? Engines in midgets have come from just about everything from tractors to boats and everything in-between! I would like to see something from the Chili Bowl office before I believe they made this call based on the engine.
