Definition of internet troll is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll i don't have all that cut and paste stuff down.

Looking at peoples responses I would say they are pretty much in line. I don't expect a big change from what they are now.

1 Stock head with aftermarket valves springs. no porting or cams or valves allowed. That makes sense. I would suspect they might not even need springs but I guess people want to be safe.

2 basically stock blocks with most people preferring aftermarket rods slightly over pistons. I guess they don't trust that powdered metal. i would rather have a little more compression. If they make aftermarket piston optional ($1000.00 + Labor)>> that simply means that before a guy goes racing he will be compelled to install high compression pistons just to go racing or buy a newer motor with high compression pistons already installed at the factory.

3.dry sumping and oiling changes would be allowed.

4. Removal of balancer shafts would be allowed.

5. ECU would be optional.

6. Methanol looks like the choice as fuel.

7. Fuel induction would be open Mechanical or electronic.

8. There are sure a lot of older midget racers taking an interest in this class but that is going to be a hard sell. My suggestion is put the old motor on a stand and invest in a late model motor and go racing. (Sure not my idea but it seems as soon as you say "National" their volume goes down )

9. There are also a few rules added late and I suspect people in the most part did not go back and change their vote to vote for or against them. It isn't that hard. Just go to he bottom of the survey and click on change my vote. Then you can vote over again or even write in a vote. I like the one>>>use an open trailer to tow your car on. Talk about generating interest. Every time you stop people >>will ask you about your dune buggy. That might get the track a few more fans.

I apologize to a few of you guys reading the thread. Several of you guys have a vested interest in Midget racing. Some are Mini Sprinters. If it offends you that much>> you can go to your control panel and exclude my posts>>>Simple. We so far have had 35 responses to the survey I think and several thousand hits. Some people are interested. By the way I sponsored the First DII Midget race at DuQuoin simply because I feel so strongly toward this class of car and wanted to watch them race together and they did an outstanding job. I think we might have proved something that race.

They are coming!!!!
