That is true, but the minimum weight rule in USAC with the driver is 1035 pounds. The minimum weight rule for Badger is 1100 pounds.
65 pounds will make a difference on a dry slick track like they had for the Firemen's Nationals. And 4 of USAC's 22 cars were Badger regulars.
Does USAC really NEED those $70,000 engines to put on a good show for the fans?
C'mon man, I thought those engines were $170,000 and that's just a short block
Injection is another 70K.
