Half of the dirt races are co-sanctioned with the AMSA. Why not run there rules? That would make ALL the cars legal at ALL the dirt tracks. It's about car count, isn't it? They're all NW races. That takes away the advantages of the "built" motors and a lot of the time hurts them. As it is now, if you wanna run these dirt races. You will need 2 different motors. 2 different injections, and 2 different RR tires and in the case of guys running Blatter tanks 2 of those also. Everyone is always talking about "cost". That doesn't seem very cost-effective to me, and that's why these sanctioning bodies make these rules. Not sure where guys heard racing was cheap, but they were lied to. Like I said earlier, its about getting the car count up and putting on the best show possible. It looks like the average car count for MMSA is about 14-15, SOLS is 6-8 from what im told (IDK) yet AMSA has well into the 20's every weekend. That isn't a dig at the MMSA or SOLS, it's just the facts. So, if UASC or whoever wants to run off a 1/3 to 1/2 the cars then so be it. We'll be at the ones we're allowed to be at.
