These come from Indianaopenwheel.com from the engine builder of the new midget class that has Emmitt's name tied to it. I asked for his permission to post these. He did build the focus engines as well.

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 Now is not the time for me to go into all of the lessons learned - just know that I hear you loud and clear, and there are some things about this program that I promise will be different. Right now I just need to work on the engine and produce a good product, but once we have some solid information to pass along we will put up a website and publish email and phone numbers for folks to call and write to. One thing that will not change is my pledge to always take the time to talk to you guys who might have an interest, and to take your suggestions to heart.
Thanks,
Keith Iaia Now that the cat is out of the bag...
For those of you wishing to contact me about the new Chevy engine project, you can email me at;
[email protected]I know, its kind of a mouthful (or should I say, a keyboard full...)
We are starting to hear from the various sanctioning bodies around the country, and I'd like to say that I am particularly interested in gathering input from every Midget group or potential new group that I can. This is our chance to start with a "clean sheet of paper" so if you have input, please do write to me.
Sincerely,
Keith Iaia
