Crate ?

[F22 RAPTOR]

I agree 150%. I believe though that you may see crates go the same way. I have heard of some tracks that are allowing them to replace valve springs for local events and to change harmonic ballancers. Hopefully this gets under check SOON or we will have $20,000 crates just like the ASA.

You hit the nail on the head when you said, "some tracks". Some tracks are whats wrong the health and state of dirt racing as it is now, they allow this and they allow that and pretty soon the class is no longer anywhere near what it was. Follow and enforce the rules, simple. As to what kinda power an illegal or outlaw crate engine makes, I could care less, they won't be running at any of the reputable events, at least not long. I know FASTRAK and NeSmith will toss them out on there ears.

Totally agree, F22...A sealed crate engine is what it is, a 602 or a 604 sealed engine ...A 383 crate is just a built 383 using crate look a like parts, why not build a 406, or a 432??? Jeez, some people....
