Just a concerned fan...

USAC is considering mandating a rev limiter on the national midget division for 2010, under 9000 RPMs?

While I agree some sort of engine cost control would be in order...

How do you police it?

Why do you penalize the many Esslinger motors that dont hit their powerband until 9000+?

Its easy to limit the MSD box with a chip, but Electromotive? Old-style Magneto?

Perhaps the national series would be better suited as a "toyota" spec series requiring everyone to purchase new $40k motors. Thats good cost control.

Just another rule that the rich guys can spend money to find a way to go faster, and the little guy cant compete.

I hope this wasnt true. Maybe someone in Orlando can give us an update. At one time, this was the best racing in the country.
