They have to turn there rpm's way up there to get this power and with mechanical fuel injection no matter what the power is when rpms go up so does fuel comsumption. And the toyotas simply struggle to make 100miles of geen flag racing without a fuel stop no matter what. And so do a lot of other hi powerd cars. With the extra power it's also hard on tires as well, then your going to give them the opportunity to put fresh rubber on???? If you want stop the race halfway but no fuel to be added or tires either ok then. Add fuel and tires only if an open red occurs in either segment. If it is truely for fan appeal there will be no argument from anybody.
Who wants to limit rpm's in midget competion and why. I have no idea.
TOYOTA ? don't know where you get your info but your wrong. Brian Tyler ,who runs a TOYOTA won 3 races, has never had a tire problem or fuel problem as far as rpms your way off
