Of course it would be a pain to pull everyone's engine out and weigh them...
slide22,you looked pretty good with your first post [you must have read that in another thread]....heres what will work to get the cost down and the car count back up and growing....smaller harder tire on the RR,no cockpit adj.,1500 lbs car and driver min.....reasonable purse [not top heavy] and tow money ....the motor situation will balance itself cause 650 to 700 hp will be all the tire will hold..........BTW what crazy materials/machining are you reffering to..they do the same basic engine prep they did 20 yrs ago..some of the hand work is just CNC'ed now
