Title: Midget horsepower?
Post by: Doug000 on February 20, 2009, 05:21:33 PM
 I was wondering if anyone has recent H.P and r.p.m. figures for midget engines? The last article I read that gave any kind of info was from Open Wheel mag. about 10 to 15 years ago. I would imagine that things have changed somewhat.

They are anywheres from 330 to 370. Running anywhere from 8000 to 10200 RPM's depending on motors

 Thanks Mister411. I just looked through a couple of the Open Wheel mags from '01 and they were claiming 360 hp. back then. But I guess what they claim and what was actually produced can be two different things
