Exactly!!!! We run a 360 and engine is one of our lower costs. We can spend $400 to $500 in tires a race.
We have a winged 305 class starting in our area as a "cost savings" class and a couple drivers I talked with are not running the races that are an hour away due to travel costs, so the $7,000 engine didnt make much difference.
Motors are really only an issue at the national level.
