Provisionals???????????????

I wish you all nothing but the best..I mean that sincerely.

BUT.....I've only seen one or two sprint cars with iron blocks in the last 5 years. I have 2 cars sitting in the garage right now. I'd love to race with you guys. I have aluminum blocks. They'll sit, probably, for another year.

Too bad you did not make any allowance for alum blocks. When alum motors were first out, you had to carry (2) 50 lb weights. Why didn't you do something like this?

Anybody that would want to race with you, to get the experience, will have to buy an iron block motor. Then, if they want to go race anywhere else, and be competitive, they'll have to buy another motor. I don't see any economy in that.

Seems like you're closing off your field to a significant majority of the existing sprint cars already out there.

Iron blocks only seems like a niche market inside of an already small niche market.
