If you go to www.nationalspeedsportnews.com, under Featured on the left-hand side of the page (halfway down), you'll find Mike Kerchner's story on the USAC midget engines with quotes from Kevin Miller.

I am sorry but they missed the boat again. This is the same group that created the new IRL. What is so new with it? I have friends on the board and this is not directed to them. But the answer is that you can not cheat is tire width. If you have a 14" tire you can put only so much horsepower to the ground. With a 12" tire you put less. And and a 10" tire even less. Why can't they see this. The engines will last longer with a narrow tire in the rear. Again to heck with compounds. But you can not cheat width of a tire. RPM's will be a device to cheat and you are back where you started. I thought we were trying to save them money. It's not going to happen in the IRL and it will not happen here.

Allow -12 headed midget engines 180 cubes, will run equal if not better than current midget engines.

I still say go w/ a hard RR Tire, this has been pretty succesful at Spartan Speedway. If it hard you can't get the power to the surface & they last longer. Areacer w/ MTS told me believed he got 13 races out of their RR. It was almost bald & told me that night was the last night for it. We have to make decision as racers, do we want to sell tires or do we want enough cars to put on a show?
