Indiana Open Wheel - View Single Post - Usac: Midget sanctions agree on 3-year rpm limit rules

Did anyone else notice that the newly revised POWRi rules that include the RPM limits also added the Honda K24 at 2533cc to match USAC? I honestly thought this was the bigger news. As the rules are currently written, you have a couple of 'outlaw 2.4' (for lack of a better term) options in POWRi now.

Maybe, just maybe when the Honda/USAC deal finally collapses under it's own weight (how long will Honda pay to watch Toyota park it week in and week out?) then we will see a wide-open 2.4/2.5 or so production based OEM block and head rule.

This is the only path to sanity imo. Yes it will still be expensive, but putting together an oem block and head has to be cheaper than cutting one out of billet.
