[FireSale]

A teardown at a race like Indy is pretty tense. Kind of like a weigh in for a jockey or boxer or a urine test for any athlete. One ounce over or a drop of anything questionable in a sample ends your day and possible puts you on the shelf for a year or more. Your 64cc chambers have to be 64cc. Your .480 lift cam has to be .480. In situations like this, photographers are supposed to ask permission to take pictures. It's just not a place for spectators.



I have training in photography and this "everyone has a camera" thing mentioned earlier bothers me a bit. People whip out their phones and snap everything without thinking and then post it on FB.


EDIT: To add to what Chad said, a legal engine isn't a box stock engine. All of the competitive stock racers have torn their engines down and blueprinted them. These subtle changes make one 350 stronger than another 350 and are closely held practices.
