It's not just the injection and pumps,
D2 has made no effort to address, titanium, ceramics, coatings, shocks, or carbon.
They did one thing affordable, they made it cheeper for a guy trying to get into midgets, but for the most part the engine is a one time expense.
They pretty much slapped the average guy that supports them all season in the face. You don't do that to people who support you and expect any type of loyalty.
To make a series succeed through out a season it's the reoccurring expenses that have to be minimized, and stand behind the guys who have stood behind you.
No one wants to address that.

Why do you think hobby stocks
have 40 cars? It doesn't cost them hundreds of dollars to race each weekend.
Why is the chilli bowl so big?
Guys save all year to run that one race.
I can race for 2 seasons on what most of those guys spend in a week.

It's just a shame to see a series that opened up its arms to every style midget, national, chain, stock block,that had a formula to which all were competitive, you could race for less than $100 out of your pocket, get kicked to the curb. But all these other D2 clubs pound thier chest and scream that they are making midget racing affordable and saving it's itegrity while standing on the ground that was built before them.
Simple lack of respect in my eyes.
