Placing a limit on cubic inches will not work and has never worked anywhere to save costs. As pointed out first by Al Soran, the big buck teams will spend until they find a way to get more hp out of the smaller engines. What is needed is to find ways to make getting all that hp to the track impossible. Smaller, harder compound tires that last for multiple race nights are a step in the right direction. And a whole lot easier to police than internal engine parts. You need not look past the UMP modifieds to see that this works. On the Indiana 1/4 miles they pretty much spin their wheels trying to get all that power to the ground through those skinny tires. In the long run this would save car owners both tire and engine expense and enable many to race more often and/or more competitively.:idea:
