Hell most tracks are 1/8 mile anyways.........aint nothing!!

and just when have you run top sportsman to know what it takes to run it? scott rex made well north of 1100hp. and at 2350 pounds was on the bump at number 32 out of 40+ cars at yellowbullet 2 years ago. a small motor in t/s is 632. around here guys run 700 and 900 inch motors. most of these guys bitching about curt switching don't have the slightest idea of the time, money and effort that goes into some of these programs. I think langer missed 2 seasons waiting for his stuff. cost.....double and triple what curt is paying for his motor! kre and butler are not even in the same stadium with bes and some of the other builders. as I said, up to a certain hp you can run hundreds of passes bracket racing. the next level not so many without midseason teardowns.
