As for Ingersoll's Pinto, he made enough to pay for the parts he used up. (and yes, I know he didn't have an intercooler on the Pinto). The point is, he COULD turn up the wick when he wanted, the rest couldn't.

I still don't believe the sanctioning body Tech has the manpower to accurately factor these engines and still keep things fair for everybody else.

No, was not directly competing at the time in the Midified classes, but was involved with building and doing R&D on rotary engines for IMSA , SCCA and NHRA. Also, very familiar with the class due to the fact I had friends competing in Modified Production and Gas.

Yes, it is Tech manpower issue, but not the number of Tech people available. The problem is having Tech people with the technical background and knowledge to deal properly with evolving technologies and not waiting for the technology to arrive and then deal with it.

With all due respect to the current Tech staff, and not demeaming any of them, their background is based on early technology and carburated cars. This is probably the reason why NHRA has not allowed the use of F.I. in classes such as Pro Stock, which racers such as W.J. has advocated the use for some time.
