If it's not a purpose built race engine, most consider it a form of spec racing.
The main point about all this budget racing is being over look.
You want a big car count with guys who support the series every week, you have to reduce the weekly cost.

You also can't afford to ban cars, there is a proven formula that has worked for every car to race, but in some people's eyes restrictors and tires destroy integrity.

I would like to add you need to have a "series director" that doesn't make empty promises.

There's not many of us in the area so I don't think it will make much of a difference and maybe only 1 or 2 tracks where we might have a shot .......cant run the bigger tracks with them .....

any question about this post, you need to watch this video. I sold the engine in this car to the guy when I sold out and it had cams, lightweight crank, milled the head, different cams.... and this ecotech was lifting halfway down the straightaway's..... sorry to the guy that bought the engine but I feel like this will defunct any questions about accountability. or "integrity"
