I would like to thank John Gurley and the ASCT For making it possible for me to race with them! I met and spoke with this group at the INDY swap meet, after listening to the plans and seeing there purse structure I really considered building-buying a steel blocked engine! But the problem is, it cost just as much to build a good steel engine as it does to buy a good used alum. engine! People dont think about the Alum. blocked guys that would like to run this series, just the 6-10 steel blocked guys that may get mad...the fact is other than the westcoasts non-wing 360 racing 90% of non-wing sprintcars currently have alum. blocks!!! so thanks for giving all of use the chace to race with a new series...

Keep in mind there are many Steel blocked motors that put out 800H.P.
the only difference is 75lb between steel and alum engines!!!!! I think the 1425 weigh run will keep the field very even!!
