I'm still learning about open wheel racing and I have a long way to go and I must admit I find the midget side of things the most confusing. The problem I'm having most, aside from traditional sprints is the smaller, smaller, smaller. I know midgets have a long tradition going way back, but why have something like a mini-sprint running the same powerplant or are they different too? I personally would never use MC/Chain Drive in a midget, not because I don't see them as capable or noncompetitive, they are, but it just doesn't resonate with me that's all. To me an MC belongs on a kart or something w/no suspension. Thanks for helping me begin to understand the open wheel world a little bit more.

To say straight from a junk yard is extreme.Yes,they have to remain stock,as far as internals go,but that don't mean you can't freshen one up.you just have to use oem equivalent parts.for example,if you don't blow one up,you can overhaul it in the off season and use it again.the nice thing is if you do blow one up,go to salvage yard ,but another(at an affordable cost),and freshen it up to your liking.ready to go.
