You asked what I would build & isn't it overzealous rule makers & class splitting one of the main reasons Midget Racing is in the state it's in ?
Racing to me is about who can build the better mouse trap ! ( I get a big chuckle on all the Swindell bashing @ the CB )
For example If you are a better driver than me should you start a lap down ?
This is the problem I see with over regulation & trying to make a fairness doctrine outta everything
Take the handcuffs off the stock block/head dohc efi engines race one class/rules across the country & let's Get it On !
