With the quick change rule now in effect these classes are very close together. The Kenyon's are a spec type race car using the 1100 cc yamaha motor. Like you said on small dirt tracks without wings I can see them as being pretty racey. If a person was to install a Hybusa or ZX 14R in one of them they would probably be a Rocket ship. HINT HINT! just need a little rule massaging to make it work.
We have races at some of the Premier dirt tracks in Indiana and Ohio this summer. It would be a great chance for the Kenyon cars drivers to run dirt and a good chance to see what might be the Kenyon metric 1400cc midget of the future.
