I often wondered what it take to get new cases made that don't have the trans to begin with over in gool 'ol china. I bet if you bought a thousand of them it'd be cheap!

There is no way in hell that motor cost 18,000 dollars. If he did... I'd like to see the receipts.
I have a bad ass Kawasaki 636 on guhl injection, with exhaust and every thing else I'll make someone a hell of a deal at 9,000 if that's the case.
Tqs struggle because there is maybe three people that know how to make one run without owning stock in a rag or oil dry company. The micro and mini sprint deal works cause you don't have to be a machinist to make one work yourself.
Yes, ingenuity is cool as hell, but not everybody can do it.

I can agree with some of what you say here, but not the idea of going back to one organization, I began in 1991, and after about 3 races of the season, as soon as the new wore off, and we started getting further away from home, traveling, road trips, whatever, we had trouble, except local, having 12-16 cars, and that was it, then in the later 90's, we had a big surge of cars, as high as 65 some nights, and that was way too many, at the time I think 16 cars were the limit to start a feature, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that we were sending the majority of cars home, without anything but a qualifying lap, maybe a heat race, and maybe a semi, and that was it, I feel like when we had more choices of who and where to run with, we solidified the numbers we could count on, after all, at most tracks we are a support class, and 45 TQ's is hard to deal with, so I'm sayin I'm glad we now have a choice, it makes it more like some of the more followed classes, and more fans get exposed, seems like about every 5-8 years we have to reintroduce ourselves to our old fans, and break in some new ones, we're on a roll, lets not do anything to slow it or stop it. Bob!
