So I believe that takes away the desire to try to set records at 'divisional s'. That limits the races where records could be set. Since you get nothing for setting a record (other than HP) or getting credit for working hard on your combo, is it worth the cost & time of tearing down you engine?
Not all divisions have 3 or 4 opens like others. This goes back to its a performance class but I don't want to run it all out......ugh.....
