Have you seen a square tali tank in USAC competition? IF not then it's not standard. End of story.

From the Rumble Series rule book:

Tech will be per the USAC 2011 (2012 also per entry blank) national midget rule book except differences listed here.

The conversation probably went like this: Tony Stewart...Hey Tony can I put a square tail tank on the Munchkin this year?? "The guy in Ohio that owns midgets that always complains" bitched about my car a couple years ago,and I like to stir him up. Thats a fair tradeoff for letting you use my name to draw the fans isnt it?

Tony Barhorst.... Sure thing Tony,,,,and thanks for letting me use your name for our advertising. It helps draw fans here.

Tony Stewart....Thanks for that Tony. I like to stir "The guy in Ohio that owns midgets that always complains" up,and I know by putting that tailtank on this old car will really get him going. It should really set "The guy in Ohio that owns midgets that always complains" off,and that will help with any blood circulation problems he might be having.

Who's car was this?

It was Tony Stewart's car with the square tail tank.

John Ivy had an interesting looking mini-sprint as well with the square tail-tank.

The fans voted when the car went off the track on the fork lift. End of story. Please don't write your fantasies on a public message board using my name. Thx.

Re: Midget Square Tail Tank
 

Andrew is probably right except for the fact that Tony has real things to do that worry about DonMoore vaguely whining about something, AGAIN. What does it matter to you? I would think Ivy's car would have been more of an issue for you. I also don't see how the fans cheering was about a tail tank. But, that is your reality so get worked up about it while we all laugh at you.

I love IOW!!!!!!!!!!!
