So.... if the part of the rule that was circumvented was bore spacing then anyone coming in can circumvent it?
What kills lack of a level playing field, yet the pursuit of being different and unique set midget racing apart from say spring cars dominated, for the most part by one form of engine. So if people are pissed off enough they dont like what the stanton motor represents, and feels it could obsolete their powerplant..... this process didnt start yesterday. Its been the rule of the road, not the exception. Why dont the just remove all rules and have it wide open below 200 cubic inches?
Midget racing is not an affordible hobby or pursuit. Until it gets too expensive for the well off, and the people who make the rules, nothing is going to change..... until its over.
For the record, a one off design motor won at Duquoin, not readily accessible to regular teams. Think that motor had an advantage? And what about the v8 motorcycle based engine that came to the chili bowl from NZ with Pickens? Why did it get canned if rules arent adhered to???
