Where is it you're hearing a q/c isn't legal? 2014 Monteplier rules allow m-c motors to run a quickchange, and so does MMSA, the only 2 places around here that they were legal last year, although the MMSA site is still the 2013 rules. IMRA, an association I might have an interest in running with from time to time, doesn't prohibit shaft-drive m-c motors but motor offset for shaft drive is 1" from chassis c/l which would be next to impossible if you retained the transmission, a la a Kenyon car (actually, looking further down the page, the rules state m-c engines must retain all gears and shaft-drive must be powered by a production car engine; never mind). Out of curiosity I checked Wayne Davis' SSMS Rules page and he appears to have adopted the IMRA rulebook word-for-word, other than a slight variation in rear wheel and tire widths; interesting....the beginnings of "national" D-II Midget rules, before the much-ballyhooed "national" Mini-Lightning Sprint package is made public?

I look at it this way. If it has the looks, who cares about how the power is transmitted from the engine to the rear tires. If it eats power to run the q/c, then it just means I have to get up on the wheel more. Sounds like fun to me and I'll get more seat room in the office too.....lol

In the IT world, we call this a "feature"; if you do an advanced search using "shaft drive" as keywords, it comes up in the search but it says the last post was 1/26, but if you click on the little blue arrow to take you to the last post, you get that actual last post, which is now this one. Before I posted this, Pat's last post says it's #74, but if you hover over page 8 in the navigation buttons is says page 8 is results 71-80 of 106.
Yep, definitely a "feature"... BTW, I gave the thread a 5-star "excellent" rating (which it is) to see if that would bring it back to the top but no dice. It will show up on the home page as the latest listing in the IOW Forum until somebody posts in one of the other threads and you can get here by clicking on that last post but if you click on the IOW Forum heading it's nowhere to be found in the first page of thread listings. This is an advanced feature.
