dallas....depending on the rules as they are written, affordability can be a good thing. it's when others, and no I'm not pointing anyone out, spend way more than necessary all for the sake of winning or just to brag that they have $1000 in their motors. any motor can be as expensive or as cheap as the rules make them. it's when you take advantage of the rules with the twisted cams and rewelding to circumvent the rules. this will kill any class no matter what engine you have....yes, even the lo206.....what is sealed by one man can be unsealed by another...sorry but you'll never be able to tell me different. no, I don't have any proof, but if the rules were honestly adhered to, then you wouldn't have to hire a tech man to keep the class equal. as much research that has gone into the lo206, I can almost promise you that just as much research has gone into ways to get into the motor to change it to gain any advantage..
I apologize to those that think the lo206 is the holy grail to racing....but it ain't. a good set of rules with a clear understanding that you will be dq'ed, fined, barred, embarrassed, toss out on your can...whatever....you can go far and get a good crowd of racers as long as you make it well know that absolutely nothing clearly defined as illegal will be tolerated...
still going to watch this class and see how it progresses!
