I've been following this discussion since it started and I got a couple questions.
With all the turmoil that's been going on in my area with the lightning sprints I started looking the Ecotec deal.
First I read where Dustin Darnell said the Ecotec engines cost $1000. so how did these engines go from that to costing $8000. from Zero Motorsports and then $15000. from Revolution racing. I'm not saying that they are not worth that but how it's all ready getting out of control.
I've been around the racing game a long time and keeping cost under control has been the big problem since the days of the Offy. I hope that someone can come up with a solution before we all go broke.
The problem with automotive style engines is that car companies leave to much on the table to go get and it costs a lot of money to turn them into race engines and low mileage motorcycle engines are getting harder to get.
So what is the answer???
