I have attended the short track nationals at i-30 in little rock, (a high paying 360 winged race) arkansas for several years and the competition is great...the average sprint car fan can't tell the difference between a 410 sprint car and a 360 sprint car during a race.
Does it make sense?? Bigger motors, cost more, about 1/2 hp actually used for $1,300 to win or less...would a 360 sprint car motor actually save the owners money??

yes with a compression rule like 11 to 1!
