I may be currently the hottest topic on IOW. It has been the subject of Rabbit Trails, Mineshafts and Off-Topic Diversions. It's time it had a home of its' own:

What do you call a Midget if it's not a Top-Tier, Major League Midget?

For the sake of the discussion, let's assume "Major League" to be POWRi or USAC. Also for the sake of this particular thread, can we agree to disagree on whether or not a chain or a Motorcycle-derived powerplant disqualifies a car from consideration as a Midget? My rationale here is simple; many groups (as outlined beautifully by Wayne on the DuQuoin thread) already consider them so. Also, many groups have already decided that cars like mine (over 1,000 CC) aren't Mini or Lightning Sprints either. For this thread, let's just consider the given dimensions and appearance that we all know and love as the Midget, makes it a Midget. And please, let's just consider those powerplants that are already in use today, no turbos, hybrids or flux capacitors.
I started a poll with some of the suggestions already in play, but forgot to set the number of options to mare than 4; anybody know how to fix that? "Just Midget" should be one of the choices at the very least; if I can I'll add it later and you can come back and vote. In the mean time put any other options in your response.
Have fun, be nice...
