I hope no one is paying $30,000 for a bmara engine...suppose it could be within a few grand though (for a new, best of the best top of the line full dressed and tuned with fuel and ignition systems...). Whatever works I guess...

Now, I feel like the other area pavement midget series should certainly get mentioned on this thread. What was recently known as the "Midwest Mayhem Midgets", based around Grundy County Speedway many years (Rockford Speedway was their "home track" for a season or two); also known as the Illini Racing Series for a while; was started by Laverne Spencer and before last year was acquired by Aaron Willis. They have a budget minded rule book (but I cannot access it currently for better reference / to compare it to this new deal). Ideally, some of those cars and teams will be able to maybe make a couple slight changes or additions and campaign in this IRP deal. Time will tell. I think their car count almost increased every race in 2024.
