That same motor is going to run up front at LUCAS OIL RACEWAY in May which is a USAC race.
What scales did he have to go across? Chili bowl has no scales.
I'm pretty sure that I read the the Synergy V8 was outlawed after last year. I want to say that I read that on this message board, but I'm not a 100% sure.
It makes you wonder why, especially with everything that's been mentioned in this thread.

Before you go upsetting some of the Kiwis, Pickens and Mosen are both from New Zealand and the Snergy/ Aggressor Team that went to the Chili Bowl are also from New Zealand. According to the engine designer the Engines weren't outlawed last year.

Didn't Kruseman try some type of ski instead of a wheel on the LF one year on a Bondio car at the CB and they outlawed it?

Charles I don't know how you can make a standard engine out of something that is a purpose built race motor??? If they were only $12000 I can bet you they wouldn't be able to keep up with demand!!
This board proves one thing for sure, Sammy gets in the competitions head, which is half the battle.The more you concentrate on him, the less you concentrate on yourself.
