First of all the rev limit was set at about what the engines were normally running anyway so that rule didn't do anything to help. The weight rule USAC instituted 2 years ago weighing the driver and car actually makes the cars have to be lighter than they were before. It was 900lbs.W/o driver. Now it's 1050 with driver. For a 900 lb. car the driver can only weigh 150lbs. It is now legal to build a car less than 900lbs. The average midget without a bunch of titanium weighs approx. 975lbs. If USAC was actually trying to help out the average guy their weight with driver should be atleast 1100lbs. It's obvious to me and apparently everyone in Poweri that USAC's "cost reduction rules" are nothing but smoke and mirrors! I'm with D.O. bring back the VW's!!!!
