Yeah... Your post makes way too much common sense. Hardly anybody on earth will understand it and I'm being completely serious. For example, Just read through the posts on this thread and you'll understand why midget racing is in the state it is today. People cheering and craving for more expense. That's the mindset that is going down today. People have been programed that midget racing is the Steve Lewis/big buck way to do it. Just keep piling on the expenses. How many times have I been told on here that if I don't like the way things are being done, to sell and get out? Apparently a lot of owners are taking that advice. Have you checked the classifieds lately? In one area of the country, the midget owner population is being gutted big time right now. Yeah, today, guys, right before your very eyes. It was just two years ago that an offical from that region came on here and blasted me to the moon because I said it was about to happen.

Actually, Ovalmeister, what you are proposing could happen right now. There are engines and technology available that would fit in your niche you are proposing. Could it, would it happen? Have you ever seen Santa Claus in July? Well, it could if all the powers to be would put their allegiance to all the political big buck influences on the back burner and use some common sense.

Here is another thought. Wouldn't it make more sense to just junk all the high powered engines and replace them with an engine that is available new, right now, for around $10,000? I have a fresh engine sitting in my garage right now with a bill of sale for a rebuild at $7600. Yeah... $7600. Let's see. That's $1400 less than a new engine for around $10,000. Again, this makes way too much sense for most of the midget community to understand.

I know of one midget org in the U. S. that would rather be tortured 24/7 than make any changes to their rule book. I heard it first hand last week right from the source.

Like I said before on this thread, the day of judgement is coming at this critical time in midget racing history. We have the possible implosion of an historic region of midget racing, a new promoter in Indiana willing to bring a few fresh ideas to a midget series, another org implementing a rev limiter and weight rule supposedly by April 1, and some other groups that will be conducting business as usual. We will see!!
