Aces, the goal of the D2/Speed2 movement is affordable Midget racing, much as you're trying to advocate starting an affordable nonwing Sprint Car division in the Deep South. One difference is that there has always been diversity in engine choices, whereas in Sprint Car circles there has been a concerted effort to conform to the small-block V8 model since the demise of the 255 Offy. D2/Speed2 has never had pretenses of overtaking the National Midget mantel except in rare cases of fanaticism; as far as I know the intent was always to offer entry-level and hobbyists like myself a venue to enjoy the sport we love. It has also always made provision for Motorcycle power, but don't equate allowing that to racing with TQ's, Micros or Half Midgets (Cushman? Really?). In the IMRA & POWRi "true" D2 divisions Motorcycle power wins as often as Ecotec, and even at Montpelier they routinely finish in the top 5, even ahead of Esslinger or Gaerte engines (not me, but in the hands of capable talent...). D2-legal M/C powered cars are physically identical in every dimension as the automotive-powered cars, and many actually started life as Beast, Ellis or Stealth Midgets.
