As an example, an engine builder could stock pile a type of engine that fits several classes. A racer could lease the engine for a certain amount of time. These would not be killer pieces but would be able to run under the index. Even at a National event as long as the racer does not have a heads up run, he can have a consistent running engine that he can afford to race. At the end of the contracted time he turns in the engine, signs a new contract and gets a fresh one to continue on with.

(Disclaimer: Opinions expressed by me on this forum are exactly that, my opinions.)

What about teardowns? Who is responsable for the disassembly and assembly of a leased engine? The Pro Stock guys are not allowed to open up a leased engine. If found ILEGAL who is resonsable for the infraction? The owner/driver of the car or the engine builder? I always thought the owner/driver was responsable for being DQed no matter who built the engine. Many questions need to be addresed if this is to be allowed.
