The ASCS Eco-Tec with the ECU only made about 150 hp with around 130 pounds of torque.

With the new Engler injection; the Ascs Motor(Notice I didn't mention Reveloution Eco-Tec) makes about 180hp with about 175 pounds of torque.

Why is 21 "Midgets" (Combined classes) at Logansport a good car count and 19 USAC Midgets at Eldora a bad one? How are two cars the seperating line?

Why doesn't anyone complain when the local sprint races "only" get 21 to 25 cars at a track?

Combined classes or what have you....whatever. If thats what people feel it takes to get cars and have a promotor feel secure enough to book a race...then go for it.


Hey Don....didn't the rebuild on the MoPar you bought also include a new Engler injection? That is a one time fee and not a true indication of the motors rebuild cost.

By the way....I am one who feels the sport has never been better in terms of competition. Instead of 3-6 cars capable of winning, you have as many as 12-17 per night capable of winning.

As far as what the person on the street thinks...why do I care? I sacrafice(have sacraficed) to do what I want to do and spend my money on as do they.

Only; I have(had) racecars and they had a boat or horses or McMansion or Theater Room or kids involved in traveling sports etc...all of which are extremely expensive and seem crazy to those who don't find that an appealing past time.

If you have a race car, find a place where you want to race it. If you can't find one, start one. If you don't start one, sell it and buy a car in a class that fits. If no class fits; sell it and find something that you like.

Thats not directed at Don....just owners in general.

People want a "fix" and an "answer". They never find one because there isn't one. There are just options and opportunities.
