Maybe China could provided us one for under 4K . That would be less than a good racing transmission or a set of "Stocker" cylinder heads.
Of course, you'd have to replace BOT BOY every two years...for safety of course.

Now, that would be fair.
Thats already been done, he was built in an east coast warehouse by a man named Sam. Goes by the name Peter.

We could pair up and stand at the starting line and flip a coin. That would solve the noise problem.

Unfortunately we have not been attracting enough new young racers.

Let's try a Le Mans Start:

Stage Driver and park Race Car at 60' Line with engine off.

It seems most of good drivers are at least 30+........Heck a lot of the best ones are 50+. This system would let the kids be immediately competitive from first race and handicap everyone as they got older and more experienced.

If anyone is old enough to remember..... their was an Article in Car Craft in Early 70's about Los Angeles Street Racers that talked about me foot racing for a $1000. (I was 300 LB. + then)

Always won......Because I could figure out how exactly how many car lengths I needed. No help from Keds but got paid every time from "Fruit of Loom" due to positioning of trousers at Finish Like...... Contingency Sticker always in full View!

Sure Miss those Days.

Yes. The car without any pride usually won.
