National motors are allowed but restricted; we have a stock internal rule but make allowances in restrictor size to account for motors that have been internally modified.
All that got "invented" in Florida or Iowa was the D2 nametag. Stock block clubs existed before WWII and proudly called themselves Class B Midgets.

I like your tire rule. I would like it even more if it was a Hoosier or American Racer very hard compound with a 10" tread and 82 to 84".
You guys are the originators no doubt. Wayne I think has spent some time in talking with you guys. He is the guy that somehow has brought you guys into the National awareness. Having read your rules 3 or 4 times and still getting confused every time I applaud your work. On dirt HP is not always your friend BUT on pavement HP is King and being able to devise a rule or plan and formula that also keeps all cars competitive on pavement is outstanding.
You guys have done your Homework!!!!!
