I have no problem allowing Honda engines into our sport for that matter any engine that fits the rule books. My son is always asking me about different engine and if they could be used. He doesn't ask about Ford's Chevy's or Mopars it's always some kind of Honda Toyota or Nissan so if that's what it takes to get our youth interested in our sport and away from the drifters then I think it should be looked at seriously.

What I have a problem with is corporate funded teams like Mopar Ford Chevy and Toyota in our sport. We talk about big money and I feel this is the reason things have gotten out of control. Maybe it to late but if we want to keep Midget and Sprint car racing grassroots than we need to get the car manufacturer out of the game and keep it to our local engine builder. Here's a thought have you tried to build you own engine it's amazing how much cost can be cut by just assembling you own motor. When your engine needs refreshed take it apart take the part to a respected machine shop or builder to have them checked or machine work done and put it back together. That would take car of that $5 grand or more freshening job.

Look around there are ways to cut the cost of racing.
