It's not even the New Year and silly season in the midget world has already begun!

I have to agree w/ HEROMAKER:
Esslinger in the most cost effective motor on the market - Heck! if you look in the classified section you can pick up a fairly new XT with limited runs for about $18 ~ $20k. I have yet to see a published price on a Toyota motor? And I think the Mopar's ( Esp. the HEMI ) are in the mid to upper $30's. On top of the fact that from what I have seen and heard; the Hemi doesnt make more then about 2 race before the bottom falls out.

Sooooo... It leaves me to question; Why penalize the most cost effective motor in the industry?

Btw: Whens the last time anyone in the last 3 ~ 5 years seen an esslinger blow up? ... Outside of tracks like IOWA, PIR, ect. In which case I think almost everyone's motor blew up ... HAHAH... Hummm

In closing:
I've been involved in racing since the day I could walk and Ive won championships w. just about every motor mfg in the industry: VW, Brayton Fords, Mopar, Esslinger.... And I can say from experience that from a maintaince stand point Esslinger is # 1 by a large margin.
