The big deal is what state of tune is that Ford engine in that you are getting off of Ebay or the junk yard? Even without factory support that 1000cc motorcycle motor will eat a hopped up Ford's lunch.
I am sure Mr. Outlaw would be glad to sell you parts to make that Ford motor faster he is in the business of selling performance auto parts, just not to me. I think that he or the guy that has put that little Ford motor in a midget chassis should get the chance to race it and if they choose to race with us in Indiana they would get my blessing. If they choose to stay in Mn. that is great also.
If things tighten up here and or in Japan we might have to find a new power plant, that is a bridge yet to be crossed. We will do it.
Just don't give me that line about a failed business model. To me that sounds like global warming and Mr. Outlaw probably also believes in that.
