The biggest problem I see for this type of series is applying rules equally to everyone. You cannot "grandfather" certain 1200cc engines while disallowing others. Therefore, rules have to be applied equally to everyone at all times. If not, then just open the rules up and allow anything and everything that shows up.
Another problem with this type of series that I see often is everyone thinks what they own should be allowed. They never think beyond themselves. So often people say, "well I have an old (fill in the blank here) and it isn't competitive so I should be able to run." This doesn't work. If you have a legal chassis, and the only thing keeping you from racing is a legal engine then go out and get a legal engine.
The third problem with this type of series is trying to make rules that state the engine has to be "completely stock." If you cannot enforce the rules then don't write them. Unless you are going to do a single source sealed engine series like the USAC Focus series this will not work. Due to the absolute lack of long term success of the USAC Ford Focus series why would anyone want to go down that road again? Instead, write engine rules that can be policed and verified and make life simpler for everyone.
