One thing about it, if you're gonna run dirt, in Indiana, you already know, it's not going to be a hosspower race, it's gonna be who can manage the throttle the best,and set-up, extra hoss's helps get you outa trouble sometimes, but it can also be a disadvantage at times. I think folks mostly like to be able to choose what they run, tires included, and if they make the wrong choices, it's their decision, not mandated like most of nicecar is, how far would a gear ratio mandate for any track fly? Money is not always gonna win, but the lack of it, can sure put a crimp in where you finish. Bob
I'm thinkin, that up to this point, this was merely speculation, as to if this engine would indeed be a viable option, now it's turned into"it's gonna happen tomorrow". Read this quote, there are a lot of questions in it, first, no one has posted any real info on it, other than the cost,and compression ratio. I think it's pretty much a given, that the accessories that make it loud, cost a lot of money also, so is it in reality, anything more than a 370 cu in, aluminum Chevy engine? Like I said, above, if it is intended to be a "spec" engine, in a new "class", I think not, and besides, looks like car counts are good, considering, looks normal to me, them that's got, get's, and the rest do it, just because they want to, there are a lot of worse ways to make a "small fortune", and look at all the people you get to entertain, and meet along the way. I doubt there will be much interest in it, especially if it's a "spec" engine, and even if it weren't, still doesn't look to me like a less expensive option. I don't think anyone wants to enter into anything like the "spec" divisions that have popped up over the past several years. Bob
