Aren't we talking about a legends car, with just a different power plant?
Man, imagine water cooled motors lasting 2 plus years, and if you blow one up, you can buy another for 1200 to 2500 and throw it in.... How many more people would be interested in these legends.. How much easier would it be to build the class at your local track?
here's one that I know lots of people will not like....how bout a claimer rule on engines.... Say 3000. Think you're out powered, buy it and see. The guy who is claimed can still go out and buy another motor and probably have money to spare. ( just thinking out loud on this one) but it could be very well though out and planned if the major motivation behind the rules is not making a profit, but rather saving the racer money. I know about zero on motor tech, but could there be a easy tech to these to keep them in check?
Are the horsepower numbers comparable to th fj? Could they be run together with the legends now, or is there too big of a disparity? This has got me curious.......
What about starting a second class at the local track? The local dealers would have to love it, more cars to support. Those that aren't interested in chasing the national points, can just race, keep a few bills in their pockets and all is well. If you did it this way, you wouldn't have to wait on INEX, you'd just need to develop a very sound set of engine rules, and leave the rest as is.
