I'd attend to check it out for sure if it was in my neck of the woods.

Had some questions on lightning sprints or chain driven motorcycle engine cars. Yes we will allow them and they must follow the same D2 Midget rules as the D2 Dirt series. Weight rules will for now be the same as the D2 rules but we may have to adjust it. Tire rules will be the same for all cars regardless of engine types as previously stated.

What about efi can it be something like what they run on Honda in the hpd series

[Avon Open Wheel fan]

We are allowing the Honda HDP cars and the old Ford Focus cars to race with us. In short if you have a car that does not fit the normal D2 rules or the national engines with the restrictor on the engines please feel free to message me. I'll get you a response. I know we have a wide variety of car types racing together and we don't want to turn anyone away.
