This is a great discussion. For several years out here in Colorado, one track ran exactly what D2 midgets are in this discussion. Older midgets and 1000cc Lightning sprints. No weight rules at this track. Results were more races won by lightning sprints, so they are us lightning guys disconnect our shifters thinking that we were shifting to win. But, bottom line was great racing. Now, car counts have grown in this area, and lightning sprints run 20 or more cars per night , and midgets running round 20 per night. But, the concept brought out the cars to the race track, and that' s what we needed to help both classes grow. On another subject, it was mentioned in this thread that their is a shortage of 1000cc motors. I Don't see any shortage. Looked on eBay just now at several different popular 1000 cc motors, and lots for sale, between $1500 and $4000 depending on year and model. I bought 4 spare stock zx10 motors last year for myself (which should last me several years) for low $$$. I love the D2 concept if it gets more cars to the track, and it might just do it. It has worked well for the SSMS in Florida, and should bring a bunch of midgets out of mothballs that feel they cannot compete with the Toyotas and Esslingers that many of us cannot afford.
