What motor modifications are permissible & what tech procedures/tools do you employ?

Just a thought from one of my rants. You could probably allow National Motors to race with you if you restricted them to a 80" X 10" right rear or smaller tire. They don't make a narrow 82" OR 84" but Hoosier does make a 80" left rear. You could still probably get pretty close to the right stagger. The racer would probably also want to get one of the harder #'s as they are pretty soft. It would be an interesting experiment and might allow you to get a few more cars also. As far as tec a bore gauge should suffice.:) When the purse starts approaching $2000,00 you might want to get a little tougher on that tec stuff, until then everybody have some cheap fun.

Heck the Hoosier 80" X 10" might make a nice Spec tire for the series?? It would kind of neutralize Horsepower on the big motors and not have too much effect on the lower horsepower cars.

Looks pretty self explanatory IMO

Should be off to a good start, great weather and what seems to be a good series to get out and have fun. Of course you always have to remember even in fun,
Racing is dog eat dog and your wearing milkbone underwear, both racers and promoters.
Don't worry about motor rules, you guys are running engines.
Inless your car has a starter, then you can modify your electric motor (starter) to help initiate starting of your engine.

So, what a lot of vehicles that these powerplants came out of should really be called "enginecycles" and what we do is really "enginesports"?

Jim, did you get yours sorted out, sorta? I'm in a holding pattern, am going ahead and build an engine, right or wrong, it's easier to buy the parts, than sell them, and I got most of them. Good luck, still might see ya along the way this season. Bob
