Cant resist a response to the "political comment"
Mike, consider the reality of eliminator racing versus class heads up racing.
Class (based on lb/hp) means if you can afford to change cars and build new repeatedly to keep a bogus factor car you can usually win.
Class (based on lb/cubic inchs) means you all have the same right to spend unlimited to win with the SAME stuff, not bogus factors.

The more you limit the rules the cars still are all the same specs but cheaper to own, build and race.( no external pumps, one carb, observation hole for crank, no sheet metal manifold, P and G, all use same spec trans. limited tire size if needed. )

Eliminator is set to make it possible for anyone to win. You only race a guy based on what he says he can run, not on what he can run. I don't agree with records either but based on qualifying might be worth a try.

I'm proposing a way to open up an affordable basic class car for the future that could attract new people and even better cut the costs to current racers next time the $35 motor breaks.

Side Comment, Randy Wilson ran these cheaper Mod cars at a track and Brodix teched the Questionable heads if needed to assure no mods.
