Call or email Tommie Estes Jr. He is the competition director for the ASCS series and is Emmett's right hand man. He should be able to answer most of your questions.

The only real rules I have heard about are USAC body panels. That was a direct result of the Lasoski Eagle midget with the radical airfoils 6 or 6 years ago. The ski was mantioned above too, Tommie actually flew out to Bondio's shop to inspect it before declaring it illegal. If I remember correct, the decision was more about safety than an unfair advantage. I also heard that Davey Ray was told that he could not run a sprint car LR on his RR this year.......
Personally, I'm waiting to see a supercharged midget. THAT....would be too cool!!! Also, as an aircraft mechanic.....I would like to see someone build a midget with an Allison 250 turboshaft engine....between 320 and 650 horsepower (depending on the model).....about the same on torque....52,000rpm.....All in a 275 pound package!!!
