But as long as we have amsa and mmsa and a few tracks with weekly or bi-weekly we should all be happy people lol I want to run as many as i can in 2013
The people up at 24 are great people, We raced there a couple of years with AMSA with the go karts, Yes those things are wicked fast. Gas being what it is people can't drive that far to race right now. If you wanted to race with MMSA I don't think it would be too big a deal.
Right now car count is a big thing people are short on money most of us race for fun and don't make a living racing. The old motors are getting harder and harder to get. We have blown 3 of these darned 1000cc motors this year, We raced our 04 motor up at 24 and for 4 more years raced an 08 for 2 years, blew up the 08, put the 04 in next week and blew it up, finally found a low mile 10 and ran it twice and blew it up. Looks like MMSA will be one car short again so if I was them I would say let this guy run.

Back when we ran 600cc cars you were allowed 2mm over bore for clean up, but then you didn't have to chrome the bore.
