I thought it would be interesting to race D2 midgets competitively but also race some bucket list races with the same package. Ie chili bowl, midget week etc. but without being able to put a K20 head on the K24a1 seems like they will be dogs and there is no use in running with the midgets. I would run a short track national race with 270hp but definitely not with 200. So that's what intrigued me to do a non chain drive car but I think the liter bike engines will be superior.
I think this D2 deal is awesome and definitely something that needed to happen for a long time.

And USAC placed a restrictor on the Honda Motor. If the Honda motor won't get up and go ditch it. The little GM motor seems to be the motor of choice the later the better. They race the Ecotec I guess soon to be D2 Midget at the shootout. D2 cars can run the Chili Bowl ask Johnny Murdock, But they really don't like the chain drive cars there, Maybe we should have the US attorney General check that out???
We manage to outrun quite a few National Midgets when we race or chain drive car at Montpelier In. and that track is closer to 3/8 mile.
And I wouldn't put a lot of money on the chain drives either.
