A 110 offy was 1803 cc's or 1.8 liters. What motor's are in this size range that would be small enough to fit in a midget frame and develop enough power to be competitive. Also diesels need a turbo to make them come alive to make them a choice could we do away with the naturally aspirated rule. Now car company's all like do drop engine size and add a turbo to get more power and better economy do we do this too. A turbo is no longer exotic nor is electronic engine control, "a few of the good things to come out of clean air". All we have to do is come up with a formula using what we have already developed in the automotive field and get away from the expensive old past. Up until a few years ago qma "Quarter Midgets of America" only allowed Contintal red seal engins to compete. Well Contintal went out of business in the 50's and a good quarter midget motor went for upward of $4000.00, and some of the better motors were lease deals only. When a single overhead cam is high tec we have a problem, and how many of these engines have even one piece made by the "oem" in them, like Shakespeare said," There by hangs the tale". Most minisprint rules say "OEM" block and head, what would happen if a midget rule said that. We wouldn't have $20,000.00 low tec motors running. Hell even NasCrap is going to electronic injection, so long $10.000.00 carbs and holes in intake manifold gaskets.
