Vic Hill discusses the evolution of dirt racing engines

[President Clinton]

Vic is also one of the first that had all the knowledge to help you with Davis Technology stuff. Vic is smart!

He's partly responsible for the engines getting so out of control cost wise.

Although aero does need to be reigned back in. You could fix a lot of the aero issues without significantly changing the look of the cars. Make the nose and ears symmetrical and straight , make the body straight and flat from front to rear, which would lead to a flat deck, fill in the sails and cut the spoiler down to 6". basically, Basically, take it back to '05 or so and take a little spoiler off of them.

The tech wouldn't go away, but you really couldn't get as radical if you're going to roll the nose under literally every lap. If the nose is mounted dead straight, the clearance on the right side is only going to be 6-8", even with a shaved valance.

How close in price are the big name late model engine builders, i.e. Durham, Clements, Cornett, Pro Power, Vic Hill, Jay D*ckens, etc.? Are they all fairly the same or are a few of the above a lot more expensive?

[CageFaraday]

I'm in favor of killing the aero and by whatever means necessary ending the hike-up. However, I'm not in favor of tire rules or necessarily engine rules. IMHO, its better to write/enforce the rules so that buying 900hp is an unusable waste, I'm a free market guy. Narrower tires yes, but not limiting compounds or mandating cubic inch or carb size. 1 shock/spring per wheel, maximum body height from ground. No bumps, No 2-spring set ups and maybe No J-bars(RS panhard only). Lower control arms must be no more than 1 inch difference in length.
