and some guys/gals bought cars already built at a really good price and shouldn't have to budget an engine swap to stay in this series. lowest common denominator should be considered.Quote:

The point is having gracious consideration is what has the series neck-deep in this debacle. Tire-gate didn't help.
The guys who have Fox/3Gs are not happy cause they don't know what to do or which group to run in.
Those that were in the building process are not happy cause they don't know what to do or which group to run in.
At some point in time the leadership has to quit pointing fingers at outside influences, take responsibility, draw the line and move on.
Make some one happy ... ANY one happy.
i'm lost. what debacle?
I'm lost as to why you are lost.
It appears this is a covert way of moderating.
And in case that loses you too, if you keep playing dumb, it'll frustrate me enough that I'll stop posting.
How recent are you talking about? LT1 in a 3rd gen is on the list of items to discuss. If you have energy around that, start chatting it up with the guys on the last page of the book.Quote:
Recent lobbying for an LT1/T56 combo in a 3rd gen for CMC2 ... deemed too expensive
I'm with Glenn in being confused about why Fox owners would be confused. They have a proven upgrade path to CMC2 or they can stay in CMC1 as long as they wish. What's the problem?
ECR, Friday. You said the target is trying to get it done for $800Quote:

And what about reliability? You are basing the Fox guys "getting to the number" after only a year. I wonder how many of those Foxes made "the number" at the end of the year after a season of racing.
And I've said before, the purist in me would prefer to see OEM under the hood, whether it's platform specific or not, as opposed to the aftermarket. Even installing an LT1 in a 3G or even a Windsor in a Fox would be better than seeing Edelbrock, Mac and Crane under the hood. MHO The perception is stock, not modified.
One of the HUGE draws is taking a stock street car, install a cage and go racing. You begin muddying those waters when you involve the aftermarket.
Remember in the not too distant past, rules stability was a HUGE marketing point and the series reaped the rewards from it.
The same can't be said today. Many are questioning their 2010 move.
