Hi Dad......Naw......not chasing him or them anymore. We are finally getting things controlled here it seems. Pretty equal playing field and the guys are doing great. Now.....both MALS and MLS are utilizing the same motor rules. We were just trying to come up with a better and quicker way to check actual compression since things can be "sorta" manipulated to give false readings.

TQ29m........we are simply trying to come up with a few basic checks to "convince" racers to not step outside the box on stock motors. We do not want to enforce a major teardown and inspection. We just would like a have simple workable procedures in place to check obvious points where HP can be gained. I am sure someone can work around even these checks and cheat the system. Can't stop everything. But it still amazes me after all my years in racing different classes that someone would intentionally cheat his fellow competitor and be able to live with himself. When you have no honor.....that must not be a problem?

So......someone with some insight..........it this cc check a total waste of time or does it have some validity? Someone shoot some holes in it if there are any. One of my concerns is the viscosity of the 5w Marvel Mystery Oil changing enough in a warm motor that there might be some "leak by" of oil. That tells me the procedure needs to proceed as rapidly as possible. Also carbon build up on the guys running gas might be an issue.
