It would seem to me that when one engine dominates by 3.3 times over the nearest competitor a change might be in order to allow the teams that do not have the resources to purchase an Esslinger to continue to compete.

Rob,

I think your analysis is flawed from the perspective that it does not take into account the number of people running one engine v. another. If the majority of the racers are running Esslingers, even if the engines were 100% equal, it would make sense the Esslingers would have more points/wins.

The only way that stat is meaningful is if the field(s) have an equal number of cars with each engine type which we know was not the case.
