I don't know that it is practical with the current platform in that the displacement is limited by the stock block, but maybe there is a way without going "dollar crazy" again. I think the $15,000 top end new motor price is about as high as you can go to keep the series growing and it is admirable that the organization has been able to accomplish what they have so far. I just miss seeing the ability to bang off of a heavy cushion without such a lag in getting back to speed. Maybe a few year's development is all it will take to find that little extra power needed to get it done.

Check out the first half of this feature from 2016. This is me and Gage Walker going at it running the cushion. Later you see Brandon Waelti and Walker going at it a bit. I think this tells most people everything they need to know about how good the Badger engine program will be when its at its full potential. Also I was in a Honda and Walker in a Ford. Waelti had a Ford as well.
