There is a very interesting article in this months issue of Circle Track regarding engine component weight and how it affects drivability.

Thanks for that Rob, It's been over ten years since I really knew anything about what you could get with what you had. Used to be able to get a full season locally on a motor. It's just nice to know that you can still get a pretty good amount of racing on em before freshening.

Sometimes I oughta just keep my mouth shut but do you see a market for a spec program while maybe leaving MSCS, USAC, KISS and other big shows 410 non governed?
