I read the rules again and I'll be darned displacement is open. Harold by making the rules like he has up there may have opened the door for us wana-be Midget owners. I think I can build a very competitive 4 valve motor for less than a guy is going to pay for a freshen up on an Esslinger and it won't require a freshen up every 10 races, more like every other season.
