This has been a pretty big topic on the Legend forums of the Facebook world.
Something needs to change. This engine program had been talked about for years now as being an issue. I think what's one of the biggest disappointments to me, as there has not been one single thing to improve the situation. Just hike up the price with very little exclamation and its business as usual. IF we are going to pay this much for an engine then something has to be done to improve the package to get more life out of it. Its been my opinion (and a few others around here) that the quality of this engine has taken a turn for the worse. I've seen more 1250 engine failures by good legend car teams, not you average Joe beginner type. Take grip away, make us run a different ignition box, we don't need to go as fast to make these cars enjoyable. I for one think this was to much money years ago before the increase. Dwarf cars prove that other engines can work and last longer and not cost as much.
This engine has gone up $1k or more in the 6 years of me racing these cars. When does it stop? Do something, do anything, business as usual will kill this series. I fear for this series that I love.
