As stated in an earlier post, the Rumble Midgets are under the umbrella of USAC rules which is stated on the Rumble Series web site. The promoter has the final say though and can allow whatever he wants. The initial post on this thread was made since the owner was alleging that the tank was USAC legal which nobody believed at Fort Wayne. The promoter deemed that it was not an advantage, so it was allowed this year. It will be outlawed for future Rumble events. Given the history of events prior to this year allowed many to be suspect. IMO, we don't need more expense with midgets as this is one piece of equipment that if cars were to start winning with it, then we start a whole new cycle of everybody buying one to keep up with the Jones. This is exactly what we don't need. Inovation is wonderful as stated by many on this thread, but we need inovation to cut costs, not additional costs.
