I don't think adding a driveline is a big deal where you can buy a newer updated midget for the same as a mini....even if you wanted to stay all bike engine it would be like a kenyon car on dirt...I just don't want to have to go out and by a engine for 6 grand and spend another 5 grand on acc. and as it is right now IF you run a STOCK bike engine rule you are only out about 3 grand tops....this is the whole issue $$$$$...some can afford the big $$$$ but most can't and we as promoters need to control the cost of this class as it is very very affordable to get into and to maintain.....If you feel the need to spend more $$$$$ there is PowrI and USAC midgets or if you really want to spend some there's the WoO....
OK DAD>>what do you think?!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see you back on here raising h-e-double L. We are going to be fighting over the same motor more and more as time goes on.
I race Kawasaki zx10r's because they are fast cheap and nobody else wants to mess with them. They got a bad name. Well after screwing up a few weeks ago I suddenly find out that these things are getting hard to find. It seems people from "China" want to buy up every Jap pocket rocket that wrecks in the US and are not afraid to spend a huge amount of money to do so. We have sent them enough of our money in the past that they can do it too. The only thing that they don't bid on is "China bikes" (wonder why?)
We might want to look at hedging our bets in the future because I don's see any Honda F-2's coming up the pike, and them old "China bikes" won't get out of their own way.
Plan ahead! To be honest I kinda of like the idea of a V-6 Midget, They are still considered scrap and a lot of them are around and ready to race. They ain't much speed equipment for them either.
