        And give them a weight break as well. That rule worked pretty good in the Havatampa days!

            Not sure what this will accomplish. NASCAR engines are 358 cubic inches and have just as much power as our stuff.. only difference is Nascar engines are way MORE expensive

              Spend more get more.. but then you brake more. Then it cost more to fix. NASCAR 3 races they toss the block. 4 races the heads get sold.. I bet after next year they go to Speck frames and Speck Bodys

                If this were to become a rule, I would guess the cubic inch displacement of the engines in all the cars would have to be checked prior to the event. I don't know the process they would use to do this and how time consuming would it be?

                  Dudes just throwing out ideas. It’s ridiculous what these guys spend and there’s really no way to stop them from spending more

                    At lease Bobbys saying something. may be if all the drivers and owners stand up and sit down and speak to each other may be something can be done.

                      No way do I want to see an engine cubic inch limit. They are called Super Late Models for a reason. No Neutered Late Models for me !

                          Not a bad idea. But you’d have to really look at everything and every loophole the guys would try to use. He’s on to something and you wouldn’t know the difference, fields aren’t going to grow. They are going to continue to shrink with the current situation.
                          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                            I don't like this. A bigger crank costs the same as a smaller one. Engines get cheaper when you can't use a big one. This concept is a relic from the days where everyone had a set of 23 degree heads.

                            And less cubes means more rpm and more top end failures. Bobby wants lms to still "look cool" aka be glued to the ground and get cheaper. It don't work like that.

                              People will generally promote a rule where they feel they have an edge or an advantage. Be that engine, tires, etc. Happens in almost every part of life including business and sport. Not saying this is Pierce’s angle here, honestly I don’t know enough to take a side. But usually when a participant is on board with a rule modification bet your bottom dollar it isn’t something that they see hampering them individually.
                              I hate time trials.
