I do not know anything about crate or racesaver but can anyone tell me the cubic inch displacement in the non wing USAC sprint cars during the Larry & Gary Show and Thunder series eras? I thought it was less than today's non wing powerplants. If they were smaller displacement, the cars were exciting, a challenge to drive, car counts in USAC and at the weekly sprint tracks in the midwest were strong, not to mention the packed grandstands.
