Sounds like a great idea to use starters. USAC was way ahead of that curve on that one. They did that with Midgets 20 years ago and it was a big big success.
Maybe a transmission for them big half mile tracks?
This is starting to sound Sounds like Mini Sprints isn't it, and to be honest we sure can run a race faster than other open wheel cars do.
Back in the day, starters weighed 35 pounds each and batteries weighed 65 pounds, a hundred pound of dead weight. Now 5 pounds for a starter and 5 more pounds for a battery. Maybe the time has come for self starters??
Thanks to USAC we already have the technology setting on the shelf.
BUT Starter's just fly in the face of old time racers, because "that is how we always done it". How could the push truck drivers get into the race anyhow?
