The Offy-Midgets you see advertized refer to Offenhauser powered race
cars, you know the type, they go in a counterclockwise direction around
this itty-bitty circle and they bump into walls and things. All four tires
are different sizes and they couldn't make a decent right hand turn if
the owners life depended on it. Oh, they ain't British.
actually, i've seen Offy-Midgets on the road course at Lime Rock; so
they can turn in both directions (admittedly, there is only one real
left turn at LRP, but that makes one more than none.)
and right, they aren't british, so we should be talking about them here.
