Leasing/Borrowing Motors in Stock & SS

[buzzinhalfdozen]

Manny, maybe you'd have better luck trying to borrow / rent a complete race car. that may be easier than a powertrain rental. There may be a few guys that aren't planning on going to Indy. Just a thought. Joe

I always thought the owner/driver was responsable for being DQed no matter who built the engine. Many questions need to be addresed if this is to be allowed.

Teardowns on index cars are few and far between but could happen. No big deal on a leased Stock or S/S engine. No secrets, just a basic engine. Owner/driver does the teardown and pays for the gaskets. If the engine is DQed, owner/driver takes the penalty and sues the builder. Remember there is a contract involved in a lease deal. That contract would say the engine will pass teardown.

Pro Stock leased engines are not allowed to be opened up because of the builder secrets in them.
