    I think they ran the LS motor atleast twice for sure. The one was end of last year. I don't remember the track but they had over heating issues.

    Wasn't Pierce running one a few times also but from Mullins?

      Pierce and Babb had ls Mullins I believe Babb still runs one on smaller tracks aka Macon and such.

        This wouldn't be for this track but it might be a game changer I saw that gm was coming out or has already came out with a 630 motor 1000 horsepower motor not sure what the cost is.

          They have, only issue is that it's primarily for drag racing. I'd love to see GM come out with a 900 HP dirt track motor. They have the market cornered for how many organizations that run there smaller crate motor programs. Come on GM get off your seats and get a big HP motor out for dirt racing.

            I thought I read somewhere those LS motors were like 26k new? Which would be a game changer like someone said for late model racing compared to 50-55k engines. Hopefully they can find a way to make them work on larger tracks. This should be the number priority to keep late model racing strong along with a cheaper shock and body rules!

              Bloomquist ran it end of last year at Volunteer during the Xrtreme series Grinch 40 race. There was another time but I don't remember.

                Hoffman ran it at 411 for the 20k FLO series race. Those things are everywhere. Just not a lot of big names run them yet.

                  Whomever goes to the race can keep an eye out for the ones running LS motors and report back in detail as to how they run against the other engines.

                        That's just a little too exciting for me.

                              RTJ must not like short tracks! Lost quite bit respect for that cursing tirade. There's time and place, and I don't mind the f-bomb but be smart. Your a paid professional racer that tens of thousands would love to be and have his pinky toe of talent and acts like that on mic.

                                Oh get over yourself, it was just a couple f-bombs. Telling me you wouldn't be pissed if someone cause a accident and you got involved?
