Doesn't that defeat the OSS idea of using a single motor to save costs and keep things simple? I thought that was a big part of what Ralph was doing to keep the series healthy and attractive to new racers.
Exactly

we should get an army tent for the back parking lot at eddies and set up a 3-day barracks.
maybe the kane furniture warehouse across the street can sponsor us?

I'll probably change the rear width rule from 3.250" to 3.267" ( 83mm ) to allow for easier clearance when using JK bushings with JK tires.

How about handout tires? Would make more money for the track owners and would eliminate a lot of the "tire tuning time" required before each race. This would also level the playing field since many types of tires just aren't available at every track. The track owners could sell the tires at a slight discount (say 20% off) since he has a locked in deal. I raced with handout tires a few times and it worked out great!!
