Previous to last week I thought we were saving money by running an older engine package, but my thoughts on the 40K engines have changed after PA week...
There were a lot of engine failures among those of us who were running older engine packages.
The cost of PA week to me was a lot more than just the cost of the engine that we lost. We had time off from work, travel expenses, hotel bills, Tires and fuel, pit passes... the list goes on and on...and we didnt even get to race because we blew up.
When you factor in all those expenses, the $40k cost of a modern engine that should last through a season or 2 of racing without breaking is really not that bad ... I have spent close to that that over the past few seasons of racing on repairs to my older engines and still had a lot of DNF's
We will be back before the end of the season and it will be with one of the current National Midget engines...
