I agree that fuel should not make any difference. Alcohol is redily available from every sprint car team at the mini sprint races and is safe to run and handle.
Gasoline is not easy to get at the track, mosy stock cars and they run special race gas which is expensive and hard on the injection system.
Totally Box Stock Engines will never happen because racers are always looking for improvements and cannot be easily checked at the trackat tech. Stock bore/ stroke and intake system is okay, but policing more detail than that will not be
easy to control
Mini sprint racing is suppose to a step up from go karts that police engine detail to the limit.
And racers still tweak and find improvements within the rules that give them an advantage.
That is a fact and always will be part of racing.
It is more difficult for a non technical person to compete and win but that always will be part of any motor racing.
The playing field cannot be level for everyone who decides to race.
I may want to play golf but should not expect to perform like Tiger Woods.
The learning curve is steep and smart racers find ways to always be faster than those that just want to go ocassionally to have fun.

Minimize regulations on stock bore stroke engines, limit to 1000cc max., alcohol or gas at same weight. and get accurate calibrated scale system, not the joke system currently in use by AMSA.

I go racing to have fun with my family, love to get dirty and tired. Do not like all the rule debating and speculation of who is doing what to their engines or spending great amounts of money.

Racers that are good and get things figured out will win and always be up front.

Rules changes and restrictions will not change who runs up front. good racers that know the technology win and thats the way it is.

Sorry but I had to get this off after all the comments.
