what's the deal? sealed 1200's

[racerrad8]

USLC has an ongoing contract with Yamaha.

 If and when the FJ1250 becomes obsolete there could be a change, until then its not going to happen.

Not likely to happen anytime soon as they are still in current prodcution; 2014 Yamaha XJR1300

I wonder what the new Honda sealed motors are going to cost for the former USAC Focus Midget series coming back in 2014?
The liquid cooled, Roush built 300+ hp motors in the Focus Midgets were around the same price as a "fully loaded" new 1250.
Oops, wrong forum
My bad...

USLC has sent out a series of tweets on Twitter.
There is no plan to do any sealing of the 1200

Here they are:

Contrary to FB posts INEX is NOT requiring 1200s to be sealed.
All 1250s must be sealed with the square seal before competition in 2014.

INEX ‏@RaceINEX 
We will be visiting specific areas in the off season to inspect and seal engines.
these locations will be posted on twitter and FB.

if anyone has ??s or concerns please email or call me.
 thanks to all our racers for competing with us this past year.  Happy Holidays!!!

Yes that is true.. We were informed to the fact they all were going to need to be..Then today he UPDATED his story and now the 1200's DO NOT Need To Be SEALED....
Sorry For The Confusion and Misunderstanding ..But It Came From Our Legends Dealer In Boise Idaho..SORRY Frank

I was told by the engine shop if I sent them a 1200 they would make it into a sealed 1219 with high compression.. this was about 6 months ago.

I do believe that that is still the case, you can send them your 1200 (1188) and have it built to a 1219 and sealed by USLC
