NickHolt Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Jason, One of the major problems with converting the engines in an existing series has been clearly pointed out. With the stroke of the rule-writer's pen, thousands of dollars of invested by the teams evaporates into thin air -- or finds new life as a boat anchor. If crate engines were to be utilized in Texas, it would have to be in a new class or new touring series. But last time I checked Texas has more than its share of touring series. And I think that is happening at HMS, right? Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildRacer5 Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I'm not a horsepower expert but with the right crate motor package could there be a way to run both types of motors. I know ther used to be a dirt LM series hat did that. Reguler motors had weight penalties and bigger spoilers. Crate motors got a weight break and better body rules. Not sayin that it would work here, but I mean they allow old racetruck in TSRS still, right. Maybe even change the tires depending on what motor you have. just my thoughts on this.

97car Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Wildracer5 the SUPR series has a spec motor that started out at 8,000 complete about maybe 8-10 years ago,they basically went to a spec head with flat tops I think any camand got to run a 12" tall spoiler and only weigh 2100 lbs,and the rest only get to run a 8" spoiler and weigh more.The spec head concept is being used by several organizations in sprints and late models with basically the same head.

meredith race engines Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 gasman u said it right again the prob with running a spec and then for an exmple have to change motors to run at thr that i think will kill thr that is a lot of work when u have a day job the idea with two diff cars in the same class is that it is a little harder on the techman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
