Dftly was a "big step"...just at the end of a short season / the 1st BMARA had of any efforts of this such...lots of plans and efforts to bring "national engines" back out, are now null & void...hope some one brings up a motion to vote the restricted "Nationals" back in (for even a year or two), at the Nov meeting...

The way I understand it is the Old motors are probably going to be forced into retirement and to me that is a shame...Not knowing what BMARA rules are actually going to be it would probably cheaper to take the old motor out put it on a stand and put it into their living rooms until they can find a buyer. Actually if the DII people do not get too far away from the rules used this year, building one of their type motors might be cheaper than a freshen up. If BMARA opened the flood gates and only require stock head block and crank their motors are going to be a little on the pricey side, once the racers get their wallets open. The way I read that one post you made You had 3 National Midgets in the last race of the year up there and they finished 1>2>3. That track is an HP track and I see the Race engines having an advantage there. So they are probably sacrificing 3 or 4 cars in hopes of attracting more stock block cars, probably not a bad decision on their parts.

With Powri starting several groups of DII Midgets in Illinois they might be the best bet to race with. With their insurance and size they just might be the better choice. I guess there will still be some old Midgets running next year at a few tracks in Indiana but they probably won't be as regular of a show.

Now all the racer has to do is hold on until they release the rules and go to work. I will make a prediction however


"There will be quite a bit more Midget racing activity taking place all around the country next summer". And to me that is a good thing.
