It would be foolish to put that kind of money, for the payback, even with inflation, you can still build an old Honda, with good reliable parts, for under $2500.00, besides, race engines are a lot like wives, they do require some attention once in a while. As far as electronics, what does that have to do with anything, my philosophy has always been KISS. We don't have 3 days at a race track to dial things in, we are a filler division, we come, we race, we go home, next time, different race track. I never did like "stock" engine rules, just like go-karting, the stock classes were always the most expensive, and where the most cheating took place, and the most tension. I'll leave you to "your" issues, I just didn't want the uninformed thinking that TQ racing was more expensive than the mini-sprint. Bob
I ran TQ's for 2 years and got out due to the engine price. Mini's were cheaper and more reliable then a honda ever could be. Tq's arnt 27k because they arnt being built anymore there all older cars selling between 4-9k. the hardest time i ever had was selling my tq. no one wants them anymore.
