Crate Motor Class

To all concerned:

I've read this thread from the beginning and it has gotten away from the intended path, but that is good. I understand most of the comments and see validity in most of them. The one thing that I don't agree with is the word SPEC being misused. When your racing organization publishes what pistons can be used, the size of the rings and location of ring lands, what rods can be used, what size your combustion chamber must not excced, how much stroke can be ground into your crank and how much lift your cam can be. Thats not all of it but I think you might get what I am saying. If that is not SPEC then what is? Seems to me the last stocker engine built here had "SPECS' for many things. If it didn't then we would all build engines with unlimited amount of internal modifications for hauling *** to beat the other racer. Sounds like with no "SPECS" that Stock Eliminator could turn into "My wallet is bigger than yours" Eliminator. Just an observation.

Respectfully Submitted,

Steve Williams
