This quote is from Tommy Hahn, Emmits son. You can read more about it here http://microoutlaws.ipbhost.com/inde...showtopic=8679

"Yes it is going to happen. The cars will run a Chevrolet motor that is being fine tuned as we speak. All the motors can be purchased for under $10,000. It won't be like the Ford focus cars with very little power. These babies will hum. The series won't kick off until 2009. We look forward to having a bunch of the micro guys crossing over and buying midgets. This series will be nationwide not just in this region."
Stay tuned for further info.

Duke unless someone is talking as his son on a message board then I think you are mistaken. I have seen this on the micro-outlaws page as well as someone who has a daughter in oklahoma running micros. I have raced with him before and I trust waht he says about different classes.

OK, before this gets too far out of hand...

Yes, there is a project underway to develop an engine. We are VERY EARLY in the process - way too early to even TALK about who, what where, etc. Right now we are in the "proof of concept" phase - this is where we take the time to really find out what the potential for this new product might be. Until we have completed this phase, it is WAY too early to talk about possible implementations.

Emmet Hahn met with me in Phoenix on Friday. He and Fuzzy were very generous with thier time, and Emmet expressed a genuine interest in the concept. However, we both agreed that it is too early to talk about the other end of the business right now. We concluded the meeting on the best of terms and agreed to keep each other informed as things progress. That is as far as it went.

We have formed a new company to develop and produce this product. We are so early in the program that we do not yet have any public information available, but as soon as we have solid results that I can share with you, I promise I'll post that information right here. In the mean time, please guys, try to keep the rumors and speculation to a minimum.

Sincerely,

Keith Iaia

That's good to hear. It was $1,200, dropping off quickly, with $150 to start. $1,500 and $250 to start is a solid improvement:applaud:. I wonder how quickly it drops off now?

Hey,

Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag on this!!!....I remember a slogan that was used in World War II...." Loose Lips Sink Ships"

Best of luck on this...but a better idea would be to reduce costs for midgets already produced via the rule book.

Adding my two cents...and two slogans...
