So now....in order to run USAC....you will more than likely have to send your "box" off to MSD,EFI or whomever....and have the program dropped in. That is fine...except if the program gets cleared or corrupted and has to be reset. If they trust the teams to do it themselves you're asking for a problem and what happens if the tach's battery mysteriously fails? Will there be a connection for an official to plug into and get the reading no matter what the tach says? Can't mount the box in the ****-pit because of the fear of traction control. It will have to be checked after quals and heats as well. Will teams now have to hire a softwear engineer to cheat the system just to keep up?

The sealed motor is interesting and is fine and all of that, but 6 on one hand and a half dozen on the other. At least it's a sealed motor that actually performs.

Looks like the door has been kicked wide open for your Eco-tec Keith. Better get in there.

I hope the deal with Ilmore was a partnership....because if there was money spent.....it was wasted. Those numbers are as random and unscientific as the lottery.

$ Probably would have been better spent on a study on the inverse effect of the unlimited useage of the spec tire verses the dwindiling car count.
From just a fan that knows not about this programming, but could USAC be given the program and then dowload to each car right at the track? Might eliminate some cheating. Sorry if this is an ignorant question.
