This.

When these things hit the local circle track, the track owners and promoters were all singing the praises of the crate motors, saying how the cost of racing would go down, the playing field would be leveled, and the days of engine tech, tear down, and cheating were over forever.


Yeah. Right. There's a whole flock of people selling the bolts, and dozens of shops, blueprinting, porting and polishing, installing trick rings, having camshafts reground, and any number of other tricks.
