Good to hear from you Roy and yes I heard about the story. You are spot on in regards to amending the rules to accommodate current engine designs. Currently there is a Honda powered midget running western states that has been fairly successful, but they need additional cubic inches to be completely on par with other midget engines. Hopefully it's only a matter of time before sanctioning bodies see the light.

To address your ? to me , I woulds leave the USAC rules alone lets not make peeps that have current equip. have to spend more $ redoing what they already have , let's integrate the new engines in with the current tech to transition into the next generation of Midgets that the kids are into The more rules the more the separation between haves & have nots , been thru the whole NastyCar restrictor plate/2 barrel carb deal for the locals all it did was make the spread larger between those who had $ to spend vs. those who did not , The Chilli bowl works as a large part cuz there are not many rules To address your concerns about the new production engines Vtec/Ecotec etc. , that is what the new generation wants to race cuz that is what they grew up on , most do not care about small block chebbies , pinto motors , mech fuel inj etc. & they are not interested in spec motors they can not use the skills they learned working with these engines That is why I set on the table Lets keep the current specs as is & start integrating the next wave of racers coming up into future of what will be coming in racing one way or another whether any of us like it or not I have been trying & talking to about every one in charge of Sprint/Midget racing the last 10 years trying to get this stuff outta the dark ages BTW my ph # is in the old fashion ph book (LOLL !!!) if any one wants to discuss this further 951 242 5397
