Waynesfield and Limaland each have a date for the USAC HPD midget series to be combined with the mini sprints listed on their schedules. However the schedule is not on USAC's site. Does anyone know of any other HPD dates this summer? Thanks.

Makes sense to me.

The machine work and design that goes into just a stock every day driver type modern day motor is often made with more precision and closer tolerances toward surface finish than can be achieved by many engine builders working on the older V8 motor designs of yesteryear.
Well Waynesfield isn't exactly small. Id say its 3/8ths and Atomic surely isn't small.
And Dad, I get your point on clearances, tollerances etc. They are making stock equptment that holds up better than a lot of racing stuff.
I've said for years that Midget racing should go to them small v6s of the 70s, early eighties that ford and chevy had in their vegas and capri's I blew many a small block chevy off the road 0-60 in my 76 Capri and then they would gain and pull away.

I'm sorry I meant Pinto and Iron Duke Chevy's. I was getting confused with sprint cars in another post. You know how it is when you get old. But the same facts are also true with the four cylinder motors.
