This is AWESOME! Midget Racing finally takes a big step forward into.... 1962? Isnt that about when the Ford Pinto came along with the SOHC inline 4?

I am simply amazed by HOW FAR the Midget racing community has its head stuck in the sand (or somewhere...). But don't take my word for it - simply attend a trade show, or a race of ANY KIND except midgets that features 4 cylinder engines - and have a look under the hood. We are the only racers left that insist on whipping this old worn out technology. Why are we doing this? If you are going to spend 33k on a 4 cylinder racing engine you could get a hell of a lot more motor than this by employing just a little bit of technology from anytime during the past, oh, FIFTY YEARS or so.

Why are we the ONLY guys not embracing modern engine technology?
