It could be possible next year to see wilke and rw/benic as the only teams not using esslinger engines on the usac circuit. Is that really good for the sport???

Kevin thanks for the stats and the information on your tests. I no longer have a dog in this fight but at one time my family was heavily involved in midget racing back in the 70's and 80's and I remember my Dad and his friends having the same conversation about the VW's. USAC and CORA basically became VW only if you wanted to compete. As Don so aptly put "history will repeat itself."
