I don't care what is "allowed" any more... beef up supports, add non factory TAs... the rules changes basically elimated the TPI motor... so I don't care what happens now...

AND prep time... Fox bodies dominated with Todd and Adam because of experience and then there was ShuVarner (he was just a natural)... Then came 3rd Gens with the Jeff's... Seat time AND prep time... The Jeffs had the best prepared cars in those years... Michael had Lemons races to add to his experience, James drove dirt cars and Dan has been getting time with The Driver's Edge... I spotted Jeremiah running Karts at TWS and he cross trains by running and biking AND his car prep is better than most...

FYI.. after the 3 hour enduro I have started working out.. I'm down to 160lbs and working on cardio... as soon as the paychecks start getting deposited, work starts on the 3 car... and I'll be at as many TDE events as I can fit in... Glenn is right... "seat time"... but physical prep and car prep are equally important...
